TASK-ORIENTED PROCESSING AS AUXILIARY COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT TO PRIMARY COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a computing system that incorporates an auxiliary processor to a primary system processor. PSOLUTION: An auxiliary system utilizes a separate application runtime for processes and is capable of operating even when the primary system is in an off state. Methods for load-balancing are provided based on computing needs relating to power consumption requirements. Processes that are not computationally intensive are processed by a low-power, auxiliary processor. In addition, peripheral components accessible to the overall computing system are shared.
