Abstract
The present invention relates to a data processing system comprising both a high performance computing sub-system having typical high power consumption and a low performance subsystem requiring less power. The data processing system acts as a single computing device by moving the execution of software from the low performance subsystem to the high performance subsystem when high computing power is needed and vice versa when low computing performance is sufficient, allowing in the latter case to put the high performance subsystem into a power saving state. The invention relates also to related algorithms.
