I think Julian meant IPI (Inter-Processor Interrupt), basically, a way
of communicating with other CPUs in an x86 SMP system. They allow you
to 'interrupt any other processor or set of processors' [1] -- This
guide should give you a lot of valuable information regarding IPIs and
basic SMP stuff. More details on SMP can be found in [2] for x86s.
Cheers.
