ABSTRACT:
A register address space is defined with a capacity large enough to accommodate substantial growth in the number of required registers. Unused register locations are reserved for future use. Access requests directed to reserved addresses are redirected to a physical register containing the same stored value that would be returned if a physical register were associated with the reserved address to which the access was originally directed. The physical register is separate from any central processing unit.
