Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for performing a quiesce operation in a multithread environment is provided. A processor receives a first thread quiesce request from a first thread executing on the processor. A processor sends a first processor quiesce request to a system controller to initiate a quiesce operation. A processor performs one or more operations of the first thread based, at least in part, on receiving a response from the system controller.
