Synchronization Of Interrupt Processing To Reduce Power Consumption

Abstract: A processor is disclosed and includes at least one core including a first core and interrupt delay logic. The interrupt delay logic is to receive a first interrupt at a first time and delay the first interrupt from being processed by a first time delay that begins at the first time unless the first interrupt is pending at a second time when a second interrupt is processed by the first core. If the first interrupt is pending at the second time the interrupt delay logic is to indicate to the first core to begin to process the first interrupt prior to completion of the first time delay. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
