Abstract
Apparatus having corresponding methods comprise a processing core performance monitoring module adapted to receive indications of performance levels of a plurality of processing cores, the plurality of processing cores comprising a central processing unit (CPU), a video accelerator, and a graphics accelerator; a video accelerator performance monitoring module adapted to receive an indication of a performance level of the video accelerator; a graphics accelerator performance monitoring module adapted to receive an indication of a performance level of the graphics accelerator; and a processor core management module adapted to dynamically allocate at least one of a pre-processing task and a post-processing task of a multimedia workload to any one of the video accelerator, the graphics accelerator, and the CPUprocessing cores based on the performance levels of the video accelerator, the graphics accelerator, and the CPU.
