Abstract
Methods of multi-threading, and systems thereof, are described. A first thread is executed. Context for the executing thread is maintained in a working register. Execution of the first thread is halted and execution of a second thread is begun by performing a rollback operation. The rollback operation causes context for the second thread to be copied from a first register into the working register.
