Abstract
A method includes, with a first execution unit of a processor, executing instructions for a processing task on behalf of a first virtual container. The first virtual container is configured to utilize computing resources of the first execution unit without demanding more computing resources than the first execution unit provides. The first execution unit may have exclusive access to a first arithmetic logic unit (ALU). The method further includes, with a second execution unit of the processor, processing instructions for the processing task on behalf of a second virtual container. The second virtual container is configured to utilize computing resources of the first execution unit without demanding more computing resources than the first execution unit provides. The second execution unit may have exclusive access to a second Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU). The first execution unit and the second execution unit operate in parallel.
