Abstract
An event driven power management control system. The event driven power management control system is compatible with existing CPU power management control units which only monitor CPU activity. The event driven power management control system is able to modify a STPCLK# signal asserted by the CPU power management control unit if external or internal events in the computer system require the CPU to run at full speed in order to service the break event.
