  • Patent number: 8751841
    Abstract: A data processing system includes one or more processing unit arranged to execute sets of instructions stored in the data processing system. The sets may include two or more application sets, each forming an application sets and including instructions for scheduling for the application an event at a future point in time. The event may require the processing unit to be in an active mode. The sets may further include rescheduling instructions for receiving from the applications information about the scheduled events and determining whether or not one or more of the events can be rescheduled and rescheduling a reschedulable event to a new point in time. The sets may further include mode control instructions for controlling the processing unit to be in the active mode during a time interval which includes the new point in time and to be in a low power mode in which the processing unit consumes less energy than in the active mode during a period of time adjacent to the time interval.
