摘要:
A method, device, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment the method includes supplying a processor with a first voltage. The method also includes allowing the processor to function within an enhanced processor halt state at the first voltage. The first voltage is a voltage below the lowest compatible voltage for the enhanced processor halt state. The method allows the processor to execute instructions upon waking from the enhanced processor halt state at the first voltage by throttling a maximum throughput rate of instructions being executed in the processor.
摘要:
A method of and apparatus for selective delivery of an interrupt to one of multiple processors having independent operating systems is described. The interrupts are generated from various platform devices in the computer system. Depending on the mode of operation of the system, a controller is configured to deliver interrupts to a co-processor when the host processor is off, without turning on the host processor. The interrupt may be delivered to the correct processor using wither a bus-based message or a dedicated interrupt line.
