Abstract
Example embodiments presented herein are directed towards multi-core processing providing in a distributed manner with an emphasis on power management. The example embodiments provide a processing node, and method therein, for the distribution of processing tasks, and energy saving mechanisms, which are performed autonomously.
Claims23
A method, in a processing node, said processing node being one of a plurality of processing nodes configured to perform parallel processing, the method comprising:
- self-assigning at least one unscheduled task to be processed;
- determining an activity status of at least one other processing node;
- and
- altering an activity status based on the activity status of the at least one other processing node and a presence of at least one unscheduled task, wherein the self-assigning and altering are performed in a fully distributed manner.
A processing node, said processing node being one of a plurality of processing nodes configured to perform parallel processing, the processing node comprising:
- a self-assigning unit configured to self-assign at least one unscheduled task to be processed;
- a determining unit configured to determine an activity status of at least one other processing node;
- and
- an altering unit configured to alter an activity status based on the activity status of the at least one other processing node and a presence of at least one unscheduled task, wherein the self-assigning and altering are performed in a fully distributed manner.
