ABSTRACT:
In some embodiments, the inventions include a chip having a message signaled interrupt redirection table (MRT) that contains entries including an address field and a data field. The chip also includes translation circuitry to translate an address field and a data field of a message signaled interrupt (MSI) signal by copying contents of the address field and data field of an entry in the MRT into the address field and data field of the MSI. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
