Abstract
Methods and apparatus to provide isolated execution environments are disclosed. In some examples, the methods and apparatus identify a request from a host application. In some examples, the methods and apparatus, in response to identifying the request from the host application, load a microcode application into memory when excess micro operations exist in a host instruction set architecture, the microcode application being a fragment of code. In some examples, the methods and apparatus execute the microcode application. In some examples, the methods and apparatus, in response to completed execution of the microcode application, unload the microcode application from memory.
