Abstract
Emulation modules running on a single-board compute node have allocations of cores of a multi-core processor. The emulation modules are configured to donate underutilized cores or available CPU cycle units to a shared pool that can be used by other emulation modules running on the board. Emulation modules that require additional processing resources borrow cores or CPU cycle units from the shared pool. The emulation modules dynamically donate and retract cores or CPU cycle units from the shared pool based on utilization of allocated cores.
