Timer coalescing is a technique for reducing processor power consumption by reducing the precision of software timers to allow the synchronization of process wake-ups, minimizing the number of times the CPU enters and exits idle states,
Timer coalescing has been a feature of Microsoft Windows from Windows 7 onward,[1] and in Apple's Mac OS X from Mac OS X Mavericks.[2][3]
