'''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". Linux Journal 1/2/2006. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8368</ref> wherein asymmetric computational units coexist with a "commodity" processor.
