▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - The multiprocessor has high-speed processor cores placed on a die and including graphene-containing computing elements. A set of additional processor cores is placed on the die, and includes lower percentage of graphene-containing computing elements than the high-speed processor cores. The high-speed processor cores operate when some of the additional processor cores are configured to be gated. A task manager is coupled to first, second and third processor groups, and selects the processor groups for operation based on a level of parallelism of an application. USE - Large-scale graphene-containing chip multiprocessor. ADVANTAGE - The multiprocessor allows specific computing elements of graphene-containing processor core to be formed with graphene, so that the computing elements can be selected to improve performance of the graphene-containing processor core while minimizing or reducing leakage energy of the graphene-containing processor core. The multiprocessor utilizes a same group of processors for all blocks of software application, so that context switching costs can be avoided. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for scheduling instructions to be processed by a chip multiprocessor. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a flow diagram illustrating a method for scheduling instructions for processing by a chip multiprocessor that includes graphene-containing computing elements.
