Summary: | A processor of an aspect includes a plurality of processor elements, and a first processor element. The first processor element may perform a user-level fork instruction of a software thread. The first processor element may include a decoder to decode the user-level fork instruction. The user-level fork instruction is to indicate at least one instruction address. The first processor element may also include a user-level thread fork module. The user-level fork module, in response to the user-level fork instruction being decoded, may configure each of the plurality of processor elements to perform instructions in parallel. Other processors, methods, systems, and instructions are disclosed. |
