APPARATUS AND METHOD TO ASSIGN THREADS TO A PLURALITY OF PROCESSOR CORES FOR VIRTUALIZATION OF A HARDWARE CONFIGURATION

Abstract:

An apparatus includes a memory configured to store one or more parameters associated with assignment of threads of a first program. Assignment of threads can be configured through a user interface or machine learning. The apparatus further includes a plurality of processor cores coupled to the memory. One or more of plurality of processor cores have a first hardware configuration and are configured to execute, during execution of the first program, a second program associated with virtualization of a second hardware configuration different than the first hardware configuration. The second program includes a scheduler executable to assign the threads of the first program to the plurality of processor cores based on the one or more parameters.
