Method, apparatus and system embodiments provide support for multiple SoEMT software threads on multiple SMT logical thread contexts. A thread translation table maintains physical-to-virtual thread translation information in order to provide such information to structures within a processor that utilize virtual thread information. By associating a thread translation table with such structures, a processor that supports simultaneous multithreading (SMT) may be easily retrofitted to support switch-on-event multithreading on the SMT logical processors.
