ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a technique for accessing a register file which comprises defining a first register address as a plurality of bits and using said first register address to access said register file generating a second register address by using a sequence of said plurality of bits with at least one of said plurality of bits supplied via a unitary operator, the unitary operator being effective to selectively alter the logical value of said bit depending on its logical value in the first register address, and using said second register address to access said register file. A computer system for carrying out such a technique is also enclosed.
