Disclosed are a method for allocating processes and an apparatus for allocating processes. The method may comprise determining a core among the plurality of cores to execute a requested process based on the performance information of the plurality of cores; and allocating the requested process to the determined core. According to the present invention, processes are allocated to cores according to a performance demanded by each of the processes so that processing speed of the processes may be enhanced and power consumption of each of the cores may be reduced.
