ABSTRACT:
A computing system that includes a number of processing elements, a memory and a multi-task controller. The memory is organized into a set of logical partitions. Task partitions describe a task and include task state information, task data registers and ASCII task instructions. The task state information includes a set of index registers that are accessible by the task instructions. The index registers typically have dedicated locations in the task partition and are referred to by lower case ASCII alphabetic characters. Index registers are used to refer to a task partition in some cases or to a location in the current task partition in other cases for purposes of branching. Index registers can be incremented or decremented and loaded with an immediate data value. In one embodiment, the data flow unit is used to interpret the branch code and fetch contents of a named index register used in the branch.
