    摘要: Architectures and techniques that allow legacy pin functionality to be replaced with a “virtual wire” that may communicate information that would otherwise be communicated by a wired interface. A message may be passed between a system controller and a processor that includes a virtual wire value and a virtual wire change indicator. The virtual wire value may include a signal corresponding to one or more pins that have been eliminated from the physical interface and the virtual wire change value may include an indication of whether the virtual wire value has changed. The combination of the virtual wire value and the virtual wire change indicator may allow multiple physical pins to be replaced by message values.

    摘要: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes processors, signal storage circuitry, and processor selection logic. The signal storage circuitry is to hold willingness indication signals each indicative of a willingness level of an associated one of the processors to receive an interrupt and to hold priority indication signals each indicative of a processor priority level of an associated one of the processors, wherein there are multiple possible willingness levels and multiple possible processor priority levels. The processor selection logic is to select one of the processors to receive an interrupt based at least on the willingness indication signals. Other embodiments are described.
