Abstract

A multi-core processor, comprising a plurality of processor cores to process jobs, a multicore navigator coupled to the plurality of processor cores to evaluate a job for atomicity and, based on determining the job to have atomicity, to determine whether there is an atomic wait queue associated with the job's atomicity. Based on there being an atomic wait queue associated with the job's atomicity, the multicore navigator is to push the job to the atomic wait queue.
