AMD mini processor: A giant step into the heterogeneous revolution

Originally published on June 16th 2021 Improve computer responsiveness is crucial in the way of development of a modern multi-threaded computer system. However, when we look at mobile environment where, in many cases, the core complex needs to remain in a low power or powered off state in order to save power or because of thermal constraints, a clear degradation of the overall responsiveness of the system becomes visible. In many cases, certain tasks that generate such interrupts responsible for awakening the cores are usually GPIO or even low IPC tasks which don't need a large computational core to process them. In this sense, in a heterogeneous paradigm, even a tiny core could be enough to resolve this issue, only waking up the big or little cores as needed by the task request.
