Zusammenfassung:A computer system is disclosed which includes a design structure including a CPU or microprocessor to drive tightly constrained hardware events. The system comprises a processor having a set of system inputs to drive a functionally programmable event, and a fast branch in the CPU including a state handler to execute instructions from the CPU to process the event. A queue in the CPU stores the events such that the non-pre-empted events are serviced in the order they are received.
