Asymmetric multiprocessors (AMP) are computer systems that consist of multiple processors, each with different capabilities and roles. In an AMP system, one processor typically handles the main tasks, while other processors may manage specific functions or run specialized applications. This design allows for efficient resource allocation and can improve performance for certain workloads. AMP systems are often used in embedded systems, mobile devices, and real-time applications where power efficiency and performance are critical. By utilizing processors with varying performance levels, such as a high-performance core alongside energy-efficient cores, AMP can optimize processing based on the current demands of the system.
