| Zusammenfassung: | A method and system for managing a power state of a processor are described herein. The method includes receiving, at the processor, a signal indicating that an interrupt is to be sent to the processor. The method also includes transitioning the processor from the deep idle state to the shallow idle state in response to receiving the signal and transitioning the processor from the shallow idle state to an active state in response to receiving the interrupt. |
