Abstract
One or more sets of one or more cache lines of cache locations of an apparatus, such as a processor, a system embedded with a processor, and the like, are dynamically operated at the same or different time periods as different register sets to supply source operands and to accept destination operands for instruction execution. The different register sets may be of the same or of different virtual register files, and if the different register sets are of different virtual register files, the different virtual register files may be of the same or of different architectures. The cache locations implementing the registers may be directly accessed using cache addresses or content addressed using memory addresses.
