Abstract

A method and device for managing hardware errors in a multi-core environment includes allocating processor cores to a main set and a spare set of processor cores. The main set of processor cores are used by an operating system, and the spare set of processor cores are dedicated to software applications. Should a processor core error occur, a processor core swap may be performed to swap a spare processor core for a failing main processor core without interrupting the execution of the operating system.
