Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses and storage medium associated with migration between processors by a computing device are disclosed. In various embodiments, a portable electronic device having an internal processor and internal memory may be attached to a dock. The dock may include another processor as well other memory. The attachment of the dock to the portable electronic device may cause an interrupt. In response to this interrupt, a state associated with the internal processor may be copied to the other memory of the dock. Instructions for the computing device may then be executed using the other processor of the dock. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.
