Abstract
A CPU having a plurality of cores is configured by determining a number of cores required for operation of the CPU. Each respective core is tested, and a performance parameter of the respective core is determined based on the test. The respective core is then classified for suitability to perform a set of functions based on the performance parameter of the respective core. If at least the number of cores required for operation of the CPU are classified for suitability to perform the set of functions, a subset of suitable cores is defined, the subset including cores that are classified for the set of functions and at least the number of cores required for operation of the CPU. The required number of cores from among the subset of cores are then enabled.
