Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed that relate to running a plurality of software instances on an embedded computer system without requiring substantial modifications to each software instance. An exemplary method includes storing context information relating to a first instance. An instance includes a set of independent threads of execution each with its own code context, interrupt service routines, drivers, and operating system services. Both a second instance and a thread associated with the second instance are chosen to run. Context information relating to the second instance is restored and the second instance is run on the operating system.
