Abstract
Operating system services are transparently triggered for thread execution resources ('sequencers') that are sequestered from view of the operating system. A 'surrogate' thread that is managed by, and visible to, the operating system is utilized to acquire OS services on behalf of a sequestered sequencer. Multi-shred contention for shred-specific resources may thus be alleviated. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
