TECHNOLOGY ABSTRACTION LAYER

摘要

Embodiments of a system and method for triggering an event in a hardware abstraction layer (HAL) are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the HAL can include unarchitected hardware or software that can be used to, for example, facilitate instruction emulation and debug; enable protection of model specific resources, instructions, and behaviors; redirect, resteer, or substitute instructions; and provide a framework for additional capabilities and features.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
detecting an event at a processor; preserving a state of the processor at the time that the event is detected; establishing a new execution state for performing an operation for a first hardware abstraction layer (HAL) that is between a second HAL and the processor; initiating, using, at least in part, the first HAL, and responsive to detecting the event, execution of a hardware abstraction flow; and stopping, using, at least in part, the processor, execution of the hardware abstraction flow.
