Abstract
Processing hardware of a processor is virtualized to provide a façade between a consistent programming interface and specific hardware instances. Hardware processor components can be permanently or temporarily disabled when not needed to support the consistent programming interface and/or to balance hardware processing across a hardware arrangement such as an integrated circuit. Executing software can be migrated from one hardware arrangement to another without need to reset the hardware.
