METHOD AND APPARATUS TO REPRESENT PROCESSOR CONTEXT WITH FEWER BITS

摘要

According to at least one example embodiment, a method and corresponding processor device comprise: maintaining a translation data structure mapping uncompressed process context identifiers to corresponding compressed identifiers, wherein the uncompressed process context identifiers and the corresponding compressed identifiers are associated with address spaces or corresponding computer processes. The compressed identifiers are employed to probe, or access, one or more structures of the processor device in executing an operation associated with a computer process.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2015
