Abstract
A system and methods controlling wake events in a data processing system is described. A broadcast wake-up signal staggering order is determined in response to a first wake event. A staggered broadcast wake-up signal is distributed to a plurality of processing elements based on the broadcast wake-up signal staggering order. The broadcast wake-up signal staggering order is changed in response to a second wake event. And a changed staggered broadcast wake-up signal is distributed to a plurality of processing elements based on the changed broadcast wake-up signal staggering order.
