摘要: A processor can have a plurality of cores. A first core processor of a first core can read one or more values of a default parameter set. The first core can be operated in accordance with a first operating characteristic based, at least in part, on the one or more values of the default parameter set. The first core processor can receive an indication to change the operating characteristic of the first core processor. In response to receiving the indication to change the operating characteristic, a signal can be issued to the first core processor to reset. In response to the reset, the first core processor can read one or more values of an alternative parameter set. The first core processor can then be operated in accordance with a second operating characteristic based, at least in part, on the one or more values of the alternative parameter set.
