Abstract
In one or more embodiments, system(s), method(s), integrated circuit(s), physical layer(s), apparatus(es), System-on-Chip (SoC), various other hardware, computer-readable and/or executable instructions, and/or technique(s) are described that enable a subroutine to release control of a processing entity when the subroutine is incomplete. By so doing, the processing entity may be used by code outside of the subroutine, such as code that needs attention, and/or more-fully utilize its own processing power by being less idle.
