ABSTRACT:
A processing system that executes multiple instruction contexts includes an instruction memory for storing instructions that are executed by the system, a processor unit executing the instructions in a pipelined fashion, a plurality of context registers for storing instructions and instruction addresses for contexts to be executed and fetch logic for selecting an address from one of the context registers and for selecting an instruction from a second of the context registers for execution substantially simultaneously for each cycle of execution of processor unit.
