HARDWARE DIRECTED CORE PARKING BASED ON PERFORMANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY CAPABILITIES OF PROCESSING UNITS AND RUNTIME SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS

Abstract:

Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that automatically determines a runtime performance of a plurality of heterogeneous processing units based on system-level thread characteristics, wherein the runtime performance is determined on a per performance class basis. The technology may also automatically determine a runtime energy efficiency of the heterogeneous processing units, wherein the runtime energy efficiency is determined on a per efficiency class basis. In one example, technology selectively unparks one or more of the heterogeneous processing units based on the runtime performance and the runtime energy efficiency.
