Abstract
A method of controlling an operating mode of at least one processing module. The method comprises receiving an indication of the execution of at least one background task by the at least one processing module, aggregating an execution duration for the at least one background task on the at least one processing module, and configuring a lower power mode for the at least one processing module when the at least one background task is allocated to the at least one processing module for execution thereon if the aggregated execution duration for the at least one background task exceeds a threshold duration within an evaluation period.
