Abstract
A Logical Dispatchable Unit Engine identifies a unit of work to be executed. The Logical Dispatchable Unit Engine determines whether the unit of work is to be dispatched to a general processor or a specialty engine based on characteristics associated with the unit of work, instructions associated with the unit of work and/or restrictions associated with the unit of work. The Logical Dispatchable Unit Engine communicates with an Operating System kernel to dispatch the unit of work for execution, responsive to determining whether the unit of work is to be dispatched to a general processor or a specialty engine.
