Abstract
A method and apparatus for managing task context are provided. Upon initialization, a protocol engine provides context resources available for processing tasks to a task issuer. Based on available context resources, the task issuer creates and manages a free list of available task context indices and assigns an index to a task prior to storing task context in a context memory accessible to both the task issuer and the protocol engine and issuing the task to the protocol engine.
