Abstract
The invention relates to a heterogeneous parallel multithread processor () with shared contexts which has a plurality (M) of parallel-connected standard processor root unit types (; p∈ [1, . . . , M]), where each respective standard processor root unit type () has at least one or more (K) parallel-connected standard processor root units (; q∈ [1, . . . , K]) for instruction execution of program instructions from various threads (T), each standard processor root unit type () having N local context memories () which each buffer-store part of a current processor state for a thread. The multithread processor () also has a plurality (N) of global context memories (; t∈ [1, . . . , N]) which each buffer-store part of a current processor state for a thread, and a thread control unit () which can connect any standard processor root unit () to any global context memory ().
