  • Patent number: 8281308
    Abstract: A virtual core management system including a first physical core and a second physical core, and a virtual core including a collection of logical states associated with execution of a program. The virtual core management system further includes a first temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of the first physical core and a second temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of the second physical core, and a virtual core management component configured to map the virtual core to one of the first physical core and the second physical core based on at least one of the temperature of the first physical core and the temperature of the second physical core.

  • Patent number: 8225315
    Abstract: A virtual core management system including a physical core and a first virtual core including a collection of logical states associated with execution of a first program. The first virtual core is mapped to the physical core. The virtual core management system further includes a second virtual core including a collection of logical states associated with execution of a second program, and a virtual core management component configured to unmap the first virtual core from the physical core and map the second virtual core to the physical core in response to the virtual core management component detecting that the physical core is idle.

  • Patent number: 8219788
    Abstract: A virtual core management system including a first physical core having a first utilization constraint, a second physical core having a second utilization constraint, and a virtual core including a collection of logical states associated with execution of a program. The virtual core management system further includes a utilization indicator configured to measure a utilization of the first physical core with respect to the first utilization constraint and measure a utilization of the second physical core with respect to the second utilization constraint, and a virtual core management component configured to map the virtual core to one of the first physical core and the second physical core based on at least one of the utilization of the first physical core and the utilization of the second physical core.

  • Patent number: 7802073
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems adapted for use with a processor having one or more physical cores. The methods and systems include a virtual core management component adapted to map one or more virtual cores to at least one of the physical cores to enable execution of one or more programs by the at least one physical core. The one or more virtual cores include one or more logical states associated with the execution of the one or more programs. The methods and systems may include a memory component adapted to store the one or more virtual cores. The virtual core management component may be adapted to transfer the one or more virtual cores from the memory component to the at least one physical core.

  • Patent number: 7797512
    Abstract: A virtual core management system including one or more physical cores and one or more virtual cores. Each virtual core respectively includes a collection of logical states associated with execution of a corresponding program. The virtual core management system further includes one or more interrupt controllers configured to send one or more interrupt signals to interrupt execution of a corresponding program associated with at least one of the one or more virtual cores, and a virtual core management component configured to map the at least one virtual core to one of the one or more physical cores and route the one or more interrupt signals to the corresponding physical core.
