Abstract

A system includes a first and a second group of cores in a multicore system. Each core of the first/second group is configured to process data. Each core within the first/second group is configured to enter into an idle state in response to being idle for a first/second period of time respectively. Every idle core in the first/second group is configured to transition out of the idle state and into an operational mode in response to receiving a signal having a first/second value respectively and further in response to having a pending operation to process.
