    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer programs are disclosed for managing processor power consumption based on message queue utilization. In one embodiment, a method comprising: distributing messages to a set of processor cores of a processor, wherein one message is distributed per distribution round to one queue within a set of queues, each queue corresponding to one processor core within the set of processor cores and including one or more queue entries to be processed by the one processor core, and where the distribution is based on utilization of the set of queues; based on utilization of a corresponding queue for a processor core of the set of processor cores, determining a power state for the processor core to be changed to; and distributing a message to the corresponding queue, the message to cause the processor core to be set to the power state.
