Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for reducing the power consumption of a system. Techniques are described that queue a message, sent by a source engine of the system, in a queue of a destination engine of the system that is in a sleep mode. Then, a priority level associated with the queued message is determined. If the priority level is at a maximum level, the destination engine is brought into an active mode. If the priority level is at an intermediate level, the destination engine is brought into an active mode when a time, associated with the intermediate level, has elapsed. When the destination engine is brought into an active mode it processes all messages accumulated in its queue in an order determined by their associated priority levels.
