    Abstract: An apparatus includes a plurality of CPUs, a CPU scheduler, an idle predictor, and a CPU-idle framework. The CPUs are categorized into a first group and a second group, and a specific CPU is in the first group. When the specific CPU is idle, the CPU scheduler executes an idle task. The idle predictor determines whether the CPUs in the first group corresponding to the specific CPU are going to operate the sleep mode in response to the idle task so as to schedule a sleep schedule of the CPUs in the first group operating in the sleep mode. The CPU-idle framework commands the CPUs in the first group to operate in the sleep mode based on the sleep schedule.
