ABSTRACT:
Method, apparatus and system embodiments to provide user-level creation, control and synchronization of OS-invisible “shreds” of execution via an abstraction layer for a system that includes one or more sequencers that are sequestered from operating system control. For at least one embodiment, the abstraction layer provides sequestration logic, proxy execution logic, transition detection and shred suspension logic, and sequencer arithmetic logic. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
