Abstract

A system includes a multithreaded processor, a memory to store the plurality of threads, and a bus to deliver the plurality of threads to the multithreaded processor. The multithreaded processor includes an event detector to detect a first event indication for a first thread. The event detector, responsive to the detection of the first event indication for the first thread, monitors a second thread being processed within the multithreaded processor to detect a clearing point for the second thread and, responsive to the detection of the clearing point for the second thread clears a functional unit within the multithreaded processor for at least the first thread.
