Design and Implementation of Context Switching through Register Management

Abstract

In multitasking operating systems, context switching efficiency is critical because the system needs to switch between running multiple processes quickly in order to maintain responsiveness and best use of available resources. Registers are essential parts of the CPU and are essential to context switching. This study investigates a number of methods and approaches designed to maximize context switching through intelligent register management. We review the current methods, such as context-aware register allocation, register check pointing, and register renaming. We also suggest new approaches that take advantage of the special features of contemporary CPUs to further improve context switching performance. We show how successful these strategies are in minimizing overhead and maximizing system performance during context shifts through experimental assessment and analysis. Our results emphasize the significance of register management in contemporary operating systems and offer useful
