Abstract

See full text

A multi-core system includes processor cores having caches; an external input/output bus connected to the processor cores; memory accessed by the processor cores via the external input/output bus; profile information indicating the volume of a write access to the memory by tasks concurrently allocated to the processor cores and whether a cache miss will occur in a read access to the caches; and an operating system that controls clock frequency of the external input/output bus to be a first frequency, based on the volume of the write access to the memory by the tasks and the bus width of the external input/output bus when a cache miss in read access is judged to not occur in executing the tasks and that controls the clock frequency of the external input/output bus to be a second frequency higher than the first frequency when a cache miss in read access is judged.
