Abstract
One of the key points for improving computer system performance is to reduce the cost of the context switch. In order to support the operating system to deal with the context switch efficiently, a double context microprocessor architecture (DCPA) is introduced. The performance of DCPA is higher than that of a single context architecture. The higher the contexts switch frequency, the bigger the difference.
