Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for retaining architected state for relatively frequent switching between sleep and active operating states are described. A processor receives an indication to transition from an active state to a sleep state.

When a wakeup event is detected, circuitry within the processor is powered up again. A boot sequence and recovery of architected state from off-chip memory are not performed. Rather than fetch from a memory location pointed to by a reset base address register, the processor instead fetches an instruction from a memory location pointed to by a restored program counter of the retained subset of the architected state information.
