US Patent 10067796 Managing shared resources in an operating system

Managing processes in a computing system comprising one or more cores includes generating an object in an operating system running on at least one core. A reference to the object is distributed to each of at least one and fewer than all of a plurality of processes to be executed on the at least one core. The operating system controls access to a resource such that processes to which the reference to the object was distributed have access to the resource and processes to which the reference to the object was not distributed do not have access to the resource.
