Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for recording a time stamp counter (TSC) value of a first TSC counter of a processor before a system suspension, accessing the stored TSC value after the system suspension, and directly updating a thread offset value associated with a first thread executing on a first core of the processor with the stored TSC value, without performing a synchronization between a plurality of cores of the processor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
