Abstract
Embodiments include an asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) system having a first central processing unit (CPU) cluster comprising a first core type, and a second CPU cluster comprising a second core type, where the AMP system can update a thread metric for a first thread running on the first CPU cluster based at least on: a past shared resource overloaded metric of the first CPU cluster, and on-core metrics of the first thread. The on-core metrics can indicate that first thread contributes to contention of the same shared resource corresponding to the past shared resource overloaded metric of the first CPU cluster. The AMP system can assign the first thread to a different CPU cluster while other threads of the same thread group remain assigned to the first CPU cluster. The thread metric can include a Matrix Extension (MX) thread flag or a Bus Interface Unit (BIU) thread flag.
