Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating load balancing between a first processor and a second processor in at least one computing device. A request is obtained to execute a first application in the at least one computing device. In one embodiment, a second application associated with the first application is assigned to be executed in the second processor instead of the first processor when a resource usage profile associated with the first application indicates that the first application imposes a greater load on the first processor than the second processor. Conversely, the second application is assigned to be executed in the first processor instead of the second processor when the resource usage profile indicates that the first application imposes a greater load on the second processor than the first processor.
