ABSTRACT:
A processor that includes hardware resources for the operating system that are separate and independent from resources dedicated to user programs. The OS resources preferably include a separate OS arithmetic logic unit (OS/ALU) along with a dedicated instruction buffer, instruction cache and data cache. The OS/ALU is preferably able to control the registers and program address of user processes, and can read a program request register from the user program.
