ABSTRACT:
A multithreaded processor device is disclosed and includes a processor that is configured to execute a plurality of executable program threads and a mode control register. The mode control register includes a first data field to control a first execution mode of a first of the plurality of executable program threads and a second data field to control a second execution mode of a second of the plurality of executable program threads. In a particular embodiment, the first execution mode is a run mode and the second execution mode is a low power mode.
