EXPLOITING PROCESS VARIATION IN A MULTICORE PROCESSOR

摘要

A disclosed method includes accessing characterization data indicating first and second sets of performance characteristics for first and second processing cores of a processor; determining, based on a performance objective and the characterization data, a first power state for the first processing core and a second power state for the second processing core; and applying the first power performance objective to the first processing core and the second power performance objective to the second processing core.
