Abstract
A heterogeneous processing device includes one or more relatively large processing units and one or more relatively small processing units. The heterogeneous processing device selectively activates a large processing unit or a small processing unit to run a process thread based on a predicted duration of an active state of the process thread.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- selectively activating at least one processing unit in a heterogeneous processing device to run a process thread based on a first predicted duration of an active state of the process thread.
An apparatus comprising:
- a heterogeneous processing device comprising a plurality of processing units, wherein the heterogeneous processing device is to selectively activate at least one of the processing units to run a process thread based on a first predicted duration of an active state of the process thread.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium embodying a set of executable instructions, the set of executable instructions to manipulate at least one processor to:
- selectively activate at least one processing unit in a heterogeneous processing device to run a process thread based on a first predicted duration of an active state of the process thread.
