New command - and highly efficient microarchitecture in order to make possible an immediate context switch for levels for users - threading

摘要

A processor uses a plurality of banks of an extended register set for storing the context of a plurality of levels for users - threads. A current bank register is a pointer to the bank, which is currently active, ready. A first thread ensures its context (first context) in a first bank of the extended register set, and a second thread ensures its context (second context) in a second bank of the extended register set. If the processor a command for the exchange of contexts between the first thread and the second thread, changes the processor, the pointer of the first bank to the second bank and leads the second thread with the use of the second context, which is stored in the second bank.
