Abstract
Systems, Methods and apparatuses relating to processor cores that respond to interrupts are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an interrupt interface, a memory interface; and a processor core to generate an interrupt acknowledge signal in response to a received interrupt; receive data in return; determine whether the received data is an interrupt service routine address, the interrupt service routine address being stored in an interrupt vector translation lookaside buffer; and, if not, use the received data to calculate the interrupt service routine address; wherein the processor core is further to use the interrupt service routine address to issue a request on the memory interface to fetch the interrupt service routine, and to execute the interrupt service routine.
