Abstract:
Embodiments of systems, apparatuses, and methods for remote action handling are describe. In an embodiment, a hardware apparatus comprises: a first register to store a memory address of a payload corresponding to an action to be performed associated with a remote action request (RAR) interrupt, a second register to store a memory address of an action list accessible by a plurality of processors, and a remote action handler circuit to identify a received RAR interrupt, perform an action of the received RAR interrupt, and signal acknowledgment to an initiating processor upon completion of the action.
