Abstract
A computer is constituted by a plurality of CPUs having the same power consumption and the same performance. A system controller has an interrupt control section. The interrupt control section generates an interrupt with respect to a CPU to be set in the halt state in accordance with the type of power supply, the battery residual capacity, the temperature of each CPU, and the throughput of each CPU, or the system operation environment setting set by the user or system software. Alternatively, a computer is constituted by CPUs having different power consumptions and different performances. A CPU switching section switches CPUs to be simultaneously operated in accordance with the type of power supply for a system, the heat value of each CPU in operation, and the load state of each CPU in operation, or the system operation environment settings set by the user or system software.
