System and method for sharing resources between real-time and virtualizing operating systems

A program product comprising:

• computer operable medium having computer program code, the computer program code being effective to:
• initiate a first processor thread corresponding to a first operating system that is located on a first processor;
• assign a second processor to the first processor thread;
• initiate a second processor thread corresponding to a second operating system that is located on the first processor;
• assign the second processor to the second processor thread;
• and
• access the second processor using the first processor thread and the second processor thread.

An information handling system comprising:

• a display;
• a plurality of processors;
• one or more nonvolatile storage devices accessible by the plurality of processors;
• a shared memory accessible by the plurality of processors;
• and
• a resource management tool for managing resources between a plurality of operating systems, the resource management tool comprising software code effective to:
• initiate a first processor thread corresponding to a first operating system from the plurality of operating systems that is located on a first processor from the plurality of processors;
• assign a second processor from the plurality of processors to the first processor thread;
• initiate a second processor thread corresponding to a second operating system from the plurality of operating systems that is located on the first processor;
• assign the second processor to the second processor thread;
• and
• access the second processor using the first processor thread and the second processor thread.
