Performing Variation-Aware Profiling And Dynamic Core Allocation For A Many-Core Processor

摘要

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a processor with multiple cores each having a self-test circuit to determine a frequency profile and a leakage power profile of the corresponding core. In turn, a scheduler is coupled to receive the frequency profiles and the leakage power profiles and to schedule an application on at least some of the cores based on the frequency profiles and the leakage power profiles. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
