<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clock frequency control method and a computer program that can appropriately change the clock frequency of a processing unit in accordance with the number, scale or computational complexity of application programs executed. <P>SOLUTION: Correspondences between a plurality of application programs APs executable by a CPU 1 and required throughputs are stored in advance in an application table AT, and correspondences between total required throughputs and clock frequencies are stored in advance in a clock frequency table CT. When executing a plurality of application programs APs, a control program CP acquires and adds the required throughput of each application program AP from the application table AT to calculate the total required throughput, then determines the clock frequency on the clock frequency table CT, and changes the clock frequency accordingly. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
