Dynamic management of features for processes executable on an information handling system

A method, comprising using at least one programmable integrated circuit of an information handling system to:

• manage execution of multiple host processes, each of the host processes hosting one or more respective features on the information handling system;
• and
• execute one or more other processes on the information handling system;
• where the method further comprises using the at least one programmable integrated circuit of the information handling system to manage the execution of the multiple host processes by:
• dynamically at runtime discovering the identity of the respective features hosted by each of the host processes,
• executing only those of the host processes that host at least one feature that is currently needed or currently used by at least one of the other processes to share the at least one feature with the at least one of the other processes that currently needs or uses the at least one feature, and
• terminating execution of any of the host processes that is currently executing on the programmable integrated circuit and that hosts no features which are currently needed or used by any of the other processes;
• and
• where the method further comprises using the at least one programmable integrated circuit of the information handling system to:
• detect at runtime that at least a given one of the other processes that is executing to use at least one given feature hosted and shared by at least a given one of the host processes no longer needs to use the at least one given feature hosted by the at least a given one of the host processes;
• then determine whether or not any other process is currently using the at least one given feature hosted by the at least a given one of the host processes;
• then stop execution of the at least a given one of the host processes in response to a determination that no other processes is currently using the at least one given feature hosted by the at least a given one of the host processes;
• and
• then continue execution of the at least a given one of the host processes in response to a determination that at least one other processes is currently using the at least one given feature hosted by the at least a given one of the host processes.
