Abstract
Processor core data regarding a client device is received from the client device. A processor core configuration is determined based on the processor core data. The processor core configuration may include instructions for instructing the client device to dedicate a task to a processor core in a plurality of processor cores of the client device. The processor core configuration is transmitted to the client device. A configuration success message is received from the client device. The configuration success message may indicate that the client device successfully implemented the processor core configuration. A virtual world module is then transformed from a first state wherein certain functionality is not provided by the virtual world to a second state wherein the functionality is provided. The virtual world module may be configured to provide the virtual world to the client device.
