Abstract

See full text

A multithreaded processor includes an instruction pipelined unit 140 and a register file 120 composed of a plurality of register banks 130. The register file 120 is coupled to an external memory 190 through register frame load/store lines 121, so that a register frame, which is defined as a content stored in one register bank 130, can be loaded and stored in bundle. When a thread parallel start instruction and a thread sequential start instruction are executed, the register frames are saved through the load/store lines 121. When a thread end instruction and a thread return instruction are executed, the register frames are restored through the load/store lines 121.
