Abstract
A process for processor management includes activating a delay thread running on a processor. A determination is made whether a wait event for a first thread running on the processor is in a queue. Responsive to determining that the wait event for the first thread is in the queue, a determination is made whether a wait time associated with the wait event has expired. Responsive to determining that the wait time has not expired, a determination is made if wait time exceeds a threshold. Responsive to determining that the wait time exceeds the threshold, a timer is set and a low power mode is initiated for the processor.
