ABSTRACT:
A processing node that is integrated onto a single integrated circuit chip includes a first processor core and a second processor core. The processing node also includes an operating system executing on either of the first processor core and the second processor core. The operating system may monitor a current utilization of the first processor core and the second processor core. The operating system may cause the first processor core to operate at performance level that is lower than a system maximum performance level and the second processor core to operate at performance level that is higher than the system maximum performance level in response to detecting the first processor core operating below a utilization threshold.
