ABSTRACT:
A technique for enabling a computer processor to be capable of responding with comparable efficiency to both: (i) events whose handling is independent on the state of the software machine that responds to the events, and (ii) events whose handling is dependent on the state of the software machine that responds to the events. Each time a software state machine enters a state, one or more event control registers are programmed to direct the illustrative embodiment where to resume execution when each possible event occurs. This enables the illustrative embodiment to automatically branch to the code that is appropriate for the combination of the event and the state of the software machine.
