Abstract
C-state transitions due to software timer interrupts can be minimized. A timer interrupt synchronizer can be deployed on a computing device to function as an intermediary between software components that rely on timer interrupts and a timer interrupt architecture of the computing device. When the software components request timer interrupts, the timer interrupt synchronizer can ensure that timer interrupts having the same frequency can be synchronized to occur at the same time. As a result of this synchronization, a CPU can experience fewer C-state transitions due to the timer interrupts.
