Abstract
Dynamic processor core switching is described. In embodiments, a multi-core processor system can include a first processor core that executes computer instructions at a first processing rate, and can include at least a second processor core that executes the computer instructions at a second processing rate, where the second processing rate is different than the first processing rate. A core profiler can generate system profile data that is evaluated to determine when a core-switch manager initiates switching execution of the computer instructions from the first processor core to the second processor core while the computer instructions are being executed.
