A multi-processor system includes multiple processors arranged in multiple clusters. Different clusters have different power and performance characteristics. The system includes a task scheduler to schedule tasks to the processors. The task scheduler, in response to detection of a scheduling event trigger, is operative to identify a scheduling objective between a first objective of energy optimization and a second objective of load balance. The scheduling objective is identified based on at least respective operating frequencies and loading of all processors in a highest-capacity cluster of the multiple clusters. According to the identified scheduling objective, the task scheduler schedules a given task to a processor selected among the processors in the multiple clusters.

One dynamic task scheduling method includes: receiving a task, wherein the task comprises a kernel and a plurality of data items to be processed by the kernel; dynamically partitioning the task into a plurality of sub-tasks, each having the kernel and a variable-sized portion of the data items; and dispatching the sub-tasks to a plurality of computing devices of a heterogeneous computing system. Another dynamic task scheduling method includes: receiving a task, wherein the task comprises a kernel and a plurality of data items to be processed by the kernel; partitioning the task into a plurality of sub-tasks, each having the kernel and a same fixed-sized portion of the data items; and dynamically dispatching the sub-tasks to a plurality of computing devices of a heterogeneous computing system.

A communications apparatus includes a first radio module including at least a first baseband signal processing device and a first radio transceiver, a second radio module including at least a second baseband signal processing device and a second radio transceiver, and an RF front-end circuit, coupled to the first radio module and the second radio module and including a plurality of RF signal processing components. A portion of the RF signal processing components capable of processing the RF signals of both the first and second radio modules are coupled to both the first and second radio modules for being shared by the first and second radio modules, and the first and second radio modules are capable of establishing a dedicated wireless connection, simultaneously, via the RF front-end circuit.
