A green computing heterogeneous computer system for executing software has at least one performance processor, a processor supporting logic supporting the at least one performance processor for executing tasks of the software, and a hypervisor processor that consumes less power than the at least one performance processor. Supported by the processor supporting logic, the hypervisor processor executes tasks of the software that the hypervisor processor has sufficient processing power to handle and puts the at least one performance processor to a power-conserving state. The hypervisor processor brings the at least one performance processor out of idle state to execute tasks of the software that the hypervisor processor has insufficient processing power to handle. The at least one performance and hypervisor processors simultaneously execute tasks of the software that require combined processing power of all processors.
