Abstract
Methods and apparatus to provide isolated execution environments are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a machine status register to determine whether excess micro operations are available during an instruction cycle to execute a pico-application in response to a request for computing provided by a host application. The pico-application is a fragment of microcode. The microcode comprises a plurality of micro operations. The machine status register is also to determine whether space is available in a memory to load the pico-application. The example apparatus also includes a loader to load a virtual machine and the pico-application into the memory in response to the excess micro operations and the space in the memory being available. The virtual machine validates the pico-application and loads the pico-application into the memory. The example apparatus also includes a processor to execute the pico-application via the excess micro operations.
