Abstract: Systems and methods for temporarily adjusting the frequency of processors are disclosed. A computing device may include a plurality of processors that are each configured to execute one or more tasks at a corresponding one of a plurality of frequencies. A scheduling component migrates tasks between the processors to balance a load that is processed by the plurality of processors. A governor component includes a frequency adjustment component to control a frequency of each of the processors and a frequency synchronization component that detects when the scheduling component is migrating one of the tasks from a source processor to a destination processor. The synchronization component increases, based upon a frequency of the source processor, a frequency of the destination processor.

Abstract: An ASMP computing device is provided, which comprises one or more computing components, which themselves comprise a plurality of processing units and one or more memory devices that are communicatively coupled to the one or more computing components, Stored on the memory devices are first and second processing frequency data. The first processing frequency data comprise a synchronization frequency, which comprises a frequency for application to all online processing units when a measured highest load of any online processing unit is greater than a first ramp-up processor load threshold and an operating frequency of the online processing unit is lower than the synchronization frequency. The second processing frequency data comprises a ramp-up frequency, the ramp-up frequency comprising a frequency for application to any online processing unit when a measured processing load of any online processing unit is greater than a second ramp-up processing load threshold.
