Abstract: Each processor core in a computing device supports various different frequency ranges, also referred to as p-states, and can operate to run threads at any one of those different frequency ranges. Threads in the computing device are assigned one of multiple importance levels. A processor core is configured to run at a particular frequency range or in accordance with a particular energy performance preference based on the importance level of the thread it is running. A utilization factor of a processor core can also be determined over some time duration, the utilization factor being based on the amount of time during the time duration that the processor core was running a thread(s), and also based on the importance levels of the thread(s) run during the time duration. The utilization factor can then be used to determine whether to park the processor core.
