ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for automatically generating a list of circuit elements, such as registers, to be context switched designed to avoid the omission of elements that must be context switched are provided. The method generally involves creating a list of potential elements for context switching, assuming these elements will be context switched by default, and then excluding all elements that must not be context switched.
