Abstract
A method of controlling on/off of a core based on a used amount of an operating core and the number of tasks in an electronic device having a multi-core, and an apparatus thereof, includes confirming a load of an operating core and the number of executable tasks at a predetermined period, determining whether the load of the operating core and the number of executable tasks meet a defined on/off condition of the multi-core, and controlling on/off of the multi-core when the load of the operating core and the number of executable tasks meet the defined on/off condition of the multi-core.
