Abstract

A computer system is provided with a processing chip having one or more processor cores, with the processing chip in communication with an operating system having kernel space and user space. Each processor core has multiple core threads to share resources of the core, with each thread managed by the operating system to function as an independent logical processor within the core. A logical extended map of the processor core is created and supported, with the map including each of the core threads indicating usage of the operating system, including user space and kernel space, and cache, memory, and non-memory. An operating system scheduling manager is provided to schedule a routine on the processor core by allocating the routine to different core threads based upon thread availability as demonstrated in the map, and thread priority.
