Abstract
An asynchronous multiple-core processor may be adapted for carrying out sets of known tasks, such as the tasks in the LAPACK and BLAS packages. Conveniently, the known tasks may be handled by the asynchronous multiple-core processor in a manner that may be considered to be more power efficient than carrying out the same known tasks on a single-core processor. Indeed, some of the power savings are realized through the use of token-based single core processors. Use of such token-based single core processors may be considered to be power efficient due to the lack of a global clock tree.
