Timer coalescing

Operating system feature to reduce CPU idle time From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Timer coalescing is a computer system energy-saving technique that reduces central processing unit (CPU) power consumption by reducing the precision of software timers used for synchronization of process wake-ups, minimizing the number of times the CPU is forced to perform the relatively power-costly operation of entering and exiting idle states.[1]
