ABSTRACT:
In a processor including a plurality of register groups, while a task is being executed using one of the register groups, a context of a task to be executed next is restored into another one of the register groups. If the execution of the task currently being executed is suspended before the restoration starts, the task execution is continued by using one of the register groups in which a context of a task executed previously remains and executing the task.
