Abstract

In a microprocessor having an instruction execution unit and first and second sets of process execution resources, context information for a process next-to-be-executed by the instruction execution unit is loaded into a register file, translation lookaside buffer and first-level data cache of the first set of process execution resources during a first interval. During the first interval and concurrently with the loading of context information for the process next-to-be executed, the instruction execution unit executes a current process, including accessing context information for the current process within the register file, translation lookaside buffer and first-level data cache of the second set of process execution resources.
