Abstract
Methods and apparatus for power-based scheduling of tasks among processors are disclosed. A method may include executing processor executable code on one or more of the processors to prompt a plurality of executable tasks for scheduling among the processors. Processor-demand information is obtained about the plurality of executable tasks in addition to capacity information for each of the processors. Processor power information for each of the processors is also obtained, and the plurality of executable tasks are scheduled on the lowest power processors where processor-demands of the tasks are satisfied.
