Abstract
The present disclosure describes techniques for switching tasks between heterogeneous cores. In some aspects it is determined that a task being executed by a first core of a processor can be executed by a second core of a processor, the second core having an instruction set that is different from that of the first core, and execution of the task is switched from the first core to the second core effective to decrease an amount of energy consumed by the processor.
