Abstract

A multi-core processor comprises a plurality of slave cores, the slave cores being without operating system kernel-related features, and the slave cores to execute respective instructions. A master core configures the operating system kernel-related features on behalf of the slave cores. The master core is to control usage of the operating system kernel-related features during execution of the instructions on the respective slave cores.
