ABSTRACT:
A state machine may have a sequence that is called by multiple threads within the state machine. Prior to calling the sequence, an address specific to the current state is stored in an address register. After the sequence has executed, the address register is queried and the thread may continue. Many different threads may call the sequence. In more complex hardware implemented state machines, the total number of gates may be reduced significantly.
