Abstract

Systems and methods of managing threads provide for selecting a thread for execution and identifying a target performance state of a processor core based on the thread. Identifying the target performance state may include applying a priority of the thread to a mapping policy to obtain the target performance state. In one embodiment, a transition of the selected core to the target performance state can be initiated and the thread can be scheduled for execution by the processor core.
