Abstract

An operating method of a system-on-chip (SoC) which includes a processor including a first core and a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) module and a clock management unit (CMU) for supplying an operating clock to the first core, the operating method including: obtaining a required performance of the first core; finding available frequencies meeting the required performance; obtaining information for calculating energy consumption for each of the available frequencies; calculating the energy consumption for each of the available frequencies, based on the information; determining a frequency, which causes minimum energy consumption, from among the available frequencies as an optimal frequency; and
