Abstract
Rapid thread processing is performed by associating thread contexts stored in a remote memory with interrupts for controlling the operation of a hardware-accelerated processor. This both minimizes the use of registers in the processor and provides a flexible, remotely accessible storage medium for the thread contexts.
