Abstract

See full text

A multiple processor core computer system interface assigns instructions to partially functional processor cores based on processing resources available in each partially functional core. Each processor core is labeled as fully functional, partially functional, or non-functional, and an indicator is provided for each partially functional processor core that shows what processing resources are available for a respective core. The indicators can be stored in memory after final test. The interface can monitor cores for changes in available resources and update respective indicators, such as by superseding an existing indicator with or creating a new indicator in read-write memory.
