1. A method for generating a translated core affinity bitmask for a multicore processor, the method comprising, by a dispatcher: receiving a first request, wherein the first request includes a core affinity bitmask that identifies at least a first core and a second core of the multicore processor; determining a first affinity between the first core and the second core; based at least in part on the first affinity, identifying a third core and a fourth core of the multicore processor; generating the translated core affinity bitmask in response to the identification of the third core and the fourth core, wherein the translated core affinity bitmask identifies at least the third core and the fourth core, and wherein the translated core affinity bitmask is different from the core affinity bitmask; and generating a second request that includes the translated core affinity bitmask.
