Sleep
sleep
Enters Sleep power-saving mode (Supervisor only).
Details
The TARGET instruction mnemonic 'sleep' places the thread into a power-saving mode where it does not execute instructions and may consume less power than in active mode.
Pseudocode Operation
r4 <- r3 shifted by r5Programming Note
The sleep instruction is useful for reducing power consumption when no computation is needed. It should be used sparingly as it halts execution, potentially affecting real-time performance. Ensure proper synchronization to avoid race conditions when resuming from sleep.
