ABSTRACT:
A digital computer system having a plurality of working registers in at least one workspace in its main memory and having a workspace pointer register for indicating the location of the workspace also has a workspace cache memory made up of registers corresponding to the working registers in the workspace of the main memory. Computer operations are implemented using the contents of the workspace cache registers whose contents are transmitted to the corresponding working registers in the workspace of the main memory in the event of a context switch. Advantageously, the architecture of this workspace system achieves high speed register-to-register operations and high speed context switching.
