Maximizing Power Efficiency with Asymmetric Multicore Systems.

The article discusses the development of software that takes advantage of the design of asymmetric multicore processors (AMPs). The potential for AMPs to conserve large amounts of electricity due to their design, which consists of cores using the same instruction set architecture (ISA) but with diff...
