摘要: A system and method for managing variable weight contexts in a multithreaded operating system. Each thread is allocated standard state. In addition, each has an indicator of whether or not it context addition. The used to access flavor table that specifies the structure additional state information. table, one embodiment, contains specifying data be saved restored during switch. on only those threads use when indicates should saved.
