Abstract:
A method of implementing a hybrid mode of a multi-core processor includes setting a hybrid mode as a power management mode of the multi-core processor. The hybrid mode includes operating more than one core of the processor and alternately operating only a single core of the processor. The hybrid mode includes operating a first core of the processor and alternately operating a second core of the processor. The hybrid mode of a method, apparatus or computer readable medium includes alternate operation between two or more processor cores of a multi-core processor according to a preset or adjustable operating ratio.
