Abstract
A method is performed in a computing system that includes a plurality of processing nodes of multiple types configurable to run in multiple performance states. In the method, an application executes on a thread assigned to a first processing node. Power and performance of the application on the first processing node is estimated. Power and performance of the application in multiple performance states on other processing nodes of the plurality of processing nodes besides the first processing node is also estimated. It is determined that the estimated power and performance of the application on a second processing node in a respective performance state of the multiple performance states is preferable to the power and performance of the application on the first processing node. The thread is reassigned to the second processing node, with the second processing node in the respective performance state.
