ABSTRACT:
In some embodiments, the invention involves off-loading processor workloads to reduce power requirements of a multi-processor system. In one embodiment, a multi-processor system redistributes computing among the multiple processors and changes the state of one or more processors to sleep mode. In another embodiment, a multi-processor system throttles the processor speed of under-utilized processors to reduce power consumption. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
