1. A system on chip (SOC) comprising:

  • a first processor implemented by said SOC that has active and inactive states and that processes first and second sets of threads during said active state;

    a second processor implemented by said SOC that has active and inactive states, wherein said second processor consumes less power when operating in said active state than said first processor operating in said active state; and

    a control module implemented by said SOC that communicates with said first and second processors and that selectively transfers said second set of threads from said first processor to said second processor and selects said inactive state of said first processor, wherein said second processor processes said second set of threads.
