The first virtual core is mapped to the physical core. The virtual core management system further includes a second virtual core including a collection of logical states associated with execution of a second program, and a virtual core management component configured to unmap the first virtual core from the physical core and map the second virtual core to the physical core in response to the virtual core management component detecting that the physical core is idle.
