Abstract

A method includes running multiple processing tasks on multiple physical processing cores that support general-purpose registers and special-purpose registers. Respective usage levels, with which the processing tasks use the special-purpose registers, are estimated. The physical processing cores are assigned to the processing tasks based on the estimated usage levels of the special-purpose registers.
