Abstract
An information handling system includes a set of power and performance profiles. Based on which of the profiles has been selected, the information handling system selects a thread scheduling table for provision to an operating system. The thread scheduling table determines the sequence of processor cores at which program threads are scheduled for execution. In a power-savings mode, the corresponding thread scheduling table provides for threads to be concentrated at subset of available processor cores, increasing the frequency with which the information handling system can place unused processors in a reduced power state.
