CORE SELECTION BASED ON USAGE POLICY AND CORE CONSTRAINTS

Abstract:

A processing unit of a processing system compiles a priority queue listing of a plurality of processor cores to run a workload based on a cost of running the workload on each of the processor cores. The cost is based on at least one of a system usage policy, characteristics of the workload, and one or more physical constraints of each processor core. The processing unit selects a processor core based on the cost to run the workload and communicates an identifier of the selected processor core to an operating system of the processing system.
