ABSTRACT:
A virtual machine system has a processor operating as a base machine which includes a plurality of groups of registers, such as data registers, address registers and instruction address registers which are selected according to identification data identifying individual virtual machines. A respective group of registers is allotted to each virtual machine and to the virtual machine monitor in the system. A status register file is provided to effect selective access to a respective one of a plurality of status registers in the system in accordance with a virtual machine number. An interrupt processing portion is provided comparing the value of an interrupt mask level of the status word of a corresponding virtual machine with an externally generated interrupt level to control interrupt processing.
