Abstract

A system and process for managing thread execution includes providing two data register sets coupled to a processor and using, by the processor, the two register sets as first-level registers for thread execution. A portion of main memory or cache memory is assigned as second-level registers where the second-level registers serve as registers of at least one of the two data register sets for executing the threads. Data for the threads may be moved between the first-level registers and second-level registers for different modes of thread processing.
