An embodiment may include at least one first process to be executed, at least in part, by circuitry. The at least one first process may select, at least in part, from a plurality of processor cores, one or more processor cores to execute, at least in part, at least one second process. The at least one first process may select, at least in part, the one or more processor cores based at least in part upon whether at least one inter-dependency exists, at least in part, between the at least one second process and at least one third process also to be executed by the one or more processor cores. Many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible.
