ABSTRACT:
A system, apparatus and method for interrupt handling on a multi-thread processing device are described herein. Embodiments of the present invention provide a multi-thread processing device for interrupt handling including an interrupt block to provide interrupt signals to a fetch block, including a first interrupt signal line corresponding to a first instruction execution thread and a second interrupt signal line corresponding to a second instruction execution thread. In embodiments, the multi-thread processing device may handle interrupts by providing a shared interrupt service routine for multiple threads or by providing each thread its own unique interrupt service routine.
