VIRTUAL CORE MANAGEMENT

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.
