Abstract
A design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for designing, manufacturing, and/or testing a design, for allocating processing functions between a primary processor and a secondary processor is disclosed. A primary processor is provided that performs routine processing duties, including execution of application program code, while the secondary processor is in a sleep state. When the load on the primary processor is deemed to be excessive, the secondary processor is awakened from a sleep state and assigned to perform processing functions that would otherwise need to be performed by the primary processor. If temperatures in the system rise above a threshold, the secondary processor is returned to the sleep state.
