Abstract

See full text

An asymmetric multi-core processor uses at least two asymmetric cores to collectively support the instructions of an instruction set architecture (ISA). A general-feature core and a special feature core that support different instruction subsets of the ISA. A switch manager detects whether a thread includes an instruction that is not supported by the currently-executing core and, after detecting such an instruction, switches the thread to the other core.
