Abstract
A system and method for interrupt distribution in a multithread processor are disclosed. A connection between an interrupt and a set of thread processors can be programmed. When the interrupt is executed, the set of thread processors are affected. While executing the thread processor tasks, the connection may be reprogrammed to interrupt another set of thread processors.
