APO is a technology that aims to optimize the resource allocation and thread scheduling of applications in real time, based on their characteristics and demands. APO uses a combination of hardware and software components, such as a dedicated APO engine, an APO driver, and an APO library, to analyze and adjust the behavior of applications on the fly. APO can also leverage the hybrid architecture of Intel’s processors, which consist of both performance cores (P-cores) and efficiency cores (E-cores), to assign the most suitable cores for different tasks.
