==PROCESSOR INTERRUPT EXPANSION FEATURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17521518 titled 'PROCESSOR INTERRUPT EXPANSION FEATURE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract of this patent application describes an integrated circuit that includes a processor with one or more cores and circuitry to control interrupts based on an interrupt expansion data structure. The circuitry reports information from the data structure to a software interrupt handler.

* The integrated circuit includes a processor with multiple cores.
* The circuitry in the integrated circuit is responsible for controlling interrupts.
* The interrupts are controlled based on an interrupt expansion data structure.
* Information derived from the interrupt expansion data structure is reported to a software interrupt handler.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in various fields where integrated circuits are used, such as:

* Computer processors
* Mobile devices
* Internet of Things (IoT) devices
* Embedded systems

== Problems Solved ==
This technology addresses the following problems:

* Efficient management of interrupts in integrated circuits.
* Handling multiple interrupts in a streamlined manner.
* Providing a mechanism to report interrupt information to a software interrupt handler.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include:

* Improved performance and efficiency in interrupt handling.
* Enhanced control and management of interrupts in integrated circuits.
* Simplified integration of interrupt handling mechanisms in software.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An embodiment of an integrated circuit may comprise a processor with one or more cores and circuitry coupled to the one or more cores, the circuitry to control one or more interrupts based on an interrupt expansion data structure, and report information derived from the interrupt expansion data structure to a software interrupt handler. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
