 The LAPIC controller (called XCU) is replicated in all clusters containing at least one core. It handle three types of event:
- 1. A '''HWI''' (HardWare Interrupt) is generated by local internal peripherals. This type implements the internal interrupts.(INT_IRQs).
- 1. A '''PTI''' (Programmable Timer Interrupt) is generated by a software programmable timer implemented in the XCU controller. This type is used to implement the timer interrupts required for context switch.
- 1. A '''WTI''' (Write Triggered Interrupts) is actually a mailbox implemented in the local XCU. They are used to implement both inter-processor interrupts, or to register the external interrupts generated by the IOPIC controller. The first WTI mailboxes are used for IPI_IRQ (one IPI per local core). The other WTI mailboxes are used for EXT_IRQs.

 The actual numbers of events of each type supported by a given XCU component are defined in the XCU_CONFIG register of the XCU component, and cannot be larger than the SOCLIB_MAX_HWI, SOCLIB_MAX_WTI, SOCLIB_MAX_PTI constants defined in the '' soclib_pic.h'' file.
