Abstract

A method of operating a CPU including a memory for storing a load tracker and a booster and a core for executing the load tracker and the booster includes determining, by the load tracker, whether an idle task is executed in the core, generating, by the load tracker, an event corresponding to a result of the determination, broadcasting, by the load tracker, a generated event to the booster, and setting, by the booster, a QoS minimum value of the core based on the event. The method of operating a CPU may further include registering, by the load tracker, an idle start worker callback and an idle end worker callback in an idle module when the CPU is initialized, and generating, by the load tracker, an idle start worker and an idle end worker when the CPU is initialized.
