A technique for reducing the power consumption required to execute processing operations. A processing complex, such as a CPU or a GPU, includes a first set of cores comprising one or more fast cores and second set of cores comprising one or more slow cores. A processing mode of the processing complex can switch between a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation based on one or more of the workload characteristics, performance characteristics of the first and second sets of cores, power characteristics of the first and second sets of cores, and operating conditions of the processing complex. A controller causes the processing operations to be executed by either the first set of cores or the second set of cores to achieve the lowest total power consumption.
A computer-implemented method for processing one or more operations within a processing complex, the method comprising:
A computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed, cause a processing complex to perform the steps of:
A computing device, comprising:
