ABSTRACT:
A system, apparatus, and method for allocation mode switching on an event-driven basis are described herein. The allocation mode switching method includes detecting an event, selecting a bandwidth allocation mode associated with the detected event, and allocating a plurality of execution cycles of an instruction execution period of a processor core among a plurality of instruction execution threads based at least in part on the selected bandwidth allocation mode. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
