A context switching system includes a processor and a scheduler. The processor is configured to execute a first thread. A first context associated with the first thread is stored in a register set of the processor. While the first thread is being executed, the scheduler is configured to select a second thread from a set of threads, and receive and store a second context associated with the second thread in a register set of the scheduler. The second thread is to be scheduled for execution after the first thread. The scheduler is further configured to swap the first and second contexts when the execution of the first thread is halted, thereby executing the context switching. Further, the processor is configured to execute the second thread based on the second context. While the second thread is being executed, the first context is stored in the data memory.
