'''Hybrid-core''' computing is the technique of extending a commodity [[instruction set architecture]] (e.g. [[x86]]) with application-specific instructions to accelerate application performance. It is a form of [[heterogeneous computing]]<ref>Heterogeneous Processing: a Strategy for Augmenting Moore's Law".
