Abstract
Embodiments of apparatuses and methods for delivering real time interrupts with an APIC are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a local advanced programmable interrupt controller including a storage location to store a non-maskable interrupt vector.
Claims20
A processor comprising:
- a local advanced programmable interrupt controller including a storage location to store a non-maskable interrupt vector.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a local advanced programmable interrupt controller of a processor, a message signaled interrupt having a non-maskable interrupt delivery mode;
- and
- storing a vector from a vector field of the message signaled interrupt.
A system comprising:
- a real time interrupt source;
- and
- a processor including a local advanced programmable interrupt controller including a storage location to store a non-maskable interrupt vector.
