Abstract:
1. A method for controlling a mobile terminal device that includes a multi-core CPU and a display that displays an execution result of an application program executed by the multi-core CPU, the method comprising: when an execution result is displayed on the display, determining that an application program performed by the multi-core CPU that causes the execution result to be displayed is a foreground operation; calculating a CPU utilization per thread for the foreground operation; calculating a concurrency of the foreground operation based on the calculated CPU utilization, the concurrency being a number of threads that cause the CPU utilization to be equal to or larger than a first threshold value; when the concurrency is equal to or larger than a second threshold value, increasing a number of cores operating in the multi-core CPU; and when the concurrency is smaller than the second threshold value, increasing a frequency of at least one core already operating in the multi-core CPU.
