Core distribution optimizer for multi-core cpu

A computing system, comprising:

• one or more computing devices operably connected to communicate over one or more communication networks via one or more network interfaces;
• at least one processing unit connected to at least one memory, wherein the at least one processing unit is operably connected to at least one of the one or more computing devices;
• and
• a core distribution system configured on a non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions stored thereon that when executed by at least the processing unit cause the computing system to:
• receive a request to disable a number of cores in a processing unit, wherein the processing unit includes a physical arrangement of one or more core clusters including a plurality of cores;
• determine the physical arrangement of the plurality of cores including rows and columns of cores;
• determine an association of each core within the plurality of cores to a specific core cluster from the one or more core clusters;
• identify enabled cores and disabled cores within the physical arrangement;
• identify a number of target cores to disable from the physical arrangement by selecting the target cores to create a uniform distribution of enabled and disabled cores across of the one or more core clusters;
• and
• disable the target cores selected.

A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:

• receiving a request to disable a number of cores in a processing unit, wherein the processing unit includes one or more core clusters, wherein each core cluster of the one or more core clusters comprises a physical arrangement of a plurality of cores;
• distributing plurality of cores across the one or more core clusters and across the physical arrangement of the plurality of cores, wherein the distributing comprises:
• determining the physical arrangement of the plurality of cores including rows and columns of cores;
• identifying enabled cores and disabled cores within the physical arrangement;
• identifying a number of target cores to disable from the physical arrangement by selecting the target cores to create a uniform physical distribution of the disabled cores and the enabled cores throughout the physical arrangement of the plurality of cores;
• and
• disabling the identified target cores.
