摘要:
A method, system, and apparatus may route an interrupt to a first core of a plurality of cores of a multi-core system. If the first core is in an idle or low power state, or operating in a power state at or below a threshold power state, a core in a least idle state may be found. The interrupt may be rerouted to and processed by the core in the least idle state. Cores in a multi-core system may be rated based on for example, power states or other characteristics, and interrupts may be assigned based on these ratings. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for linear to physical address translation with support for page attributes. In some embodiments, a system receives an instruction to translate a memory pointer to a physical memory address for a memory location. The system may return the physical memory address and one or more page attributes. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要:
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes logical interrupt identification number creation logic to receive physical processor identification numbers and create logical processor identification numbers through using the physical processor identification numbers. Each of the logical processor identification numbers corresponds to one of the physical processor identification numbers, and the logical processor identification numbers each include a processor cluster identification number and an intra-cluster identification number. The processor cluster identification numbers are each formed to include a group of bits from the corresponding physical processor identification number shifted in position, and the intra-cluster identification numbers are each formed in response to values of others of the bits of the corresponding physical processor identification number. Other embodiments are described.
摘要:
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes processor selection logic to receive logical destination identification numbers that are associated with interrupts each having a processor cluster identification number to identify a cluster of processors to which the interrupts are directed. The logical destination identification numbers are each to identify which processors within the identified cluster of processors are available to receive the corresponding one of interrupts. The processor selection logic is to select one of the available processors to receive the interrupt, and the selected one of the available processors is identified through a relative position of a corresponding bit in the logical destination identification numbers. Other embodiments are described.

摘要:
A method for a mechanism for processor power state aware distribution of lowest priority interrupts. The method of one embodiment comprises receiving first power state information from a first component and second power state information from a second component. First task priority information from the first component and second task priority from the second component are also received. An interrupt request from a first device for servicing is received. Power state and task priority information for the first and second components are evaluated to determine which component should service the interrupt request. Either the first component or the second component is selected to be a destination component to service the interrupt request based on the power state and task priority information. The interrupt request is communicated to the destination component.
