Abstract
Methods and apparatus to schedule applications in heterogeneous multiprocessor computing platforms are described. In one embodiment, information regarding performance (e.g., execution performance and/or power consumption performance) of a plurality of processor cores of a processor is stored (and tracked) in counters and/or tables. Logic in the processor determines which processor core should execute an application based on the stored information. Other embodiments are also claimed and disclosed.
