Abstract
An application process is switched between asymmetric processor cores having no compatibility in instruction set architectures so that the process can be continuously executed. In an information processing device, when a request to switch an execution subject is generated while a first processor core is executing an application program, a switch process code makes the first processor core specify a basic block being executed at present. The switch process code makes the first processor core execute a first execution code until a branch instruction at the end of the specified basic block, and makes a second processor core execute a second execution code from an instruction at the head of a basic block to be executed next to the specified basic block.
