Abstract: Techniques for suspending execution of a thread in a multi-threaded processor. In one embodiment, a processor includes resources that can be partitioned between multiple threads. Processor logic receives an instruction in a first thread of execution, and, in response to that instruction, relinquishes portions of the portioned resources for use by other threads.
