ABSTRACT:
A method and system for implementing a generalized system stutter are disclosed. Specifically, one embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method, which includes the steps of blocking a first request received from a first of a plurality of bus masters during a low power state of a computing device for as long as permissible by the timing requirements of the computing device, wherein the first request is capable of triggering the computing device to transition out of the low power state, and during an active state of the computing device, servicing the first request along with other pending requests from the rest of the plurality of bus masters before the computing device transitions back to the low power state.
