Abstract

Apparatuses, methods and storage medium for computing including determination of work placement on processor cores are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus may include one or more processors, devices, and/or circuitry to identify a favored core of the processor cores. The one or more processors, devices, and/or circuitry may be configured to determine whether to migrate a thread to or from the favored core. In some embodiments, the determination may be by a process executed by a driver and/or by an algorithm executed by a power control unit of the processor.
