ABSTRACT:
A method and system in a data processing system are disclosed for efficiently managing an indication of a status of each of a plurality of registers included with the data processing system. An array is established having multiple entry fields for storing multiple entries. Each of the multiple entry fields is associated with a different one of the plurality of registers. A status of each of the plurality of registers is determined. A plurality of partitions are established within the array. Each of the partitions are concurrently accessible by the data processing system. A plurality of the multiple entry fields are associated with one of the plurality partitions. An entry is stored in each of the multiple entry field. The entry includes the status of each of the plurality of registers. Each entry is associated with one of the partitions so that a plurality of the multiple entries may be concurrently accessed.
