Abstract

Processors, systems, and methods are arranged to schedule tasks on heterogeneous processor cores. For example, a scheduler is arranged to perform a heuristics based function for allocating operating system tasks to the processor cores. The system includes a hint generator providing a system constraints-aware function that biases the scheduler to select a processor core depending on the change in one or more performance constraint parameters.
