Comment Register and Shadow Register Rollback (Score 1) 345

The transaction processing aspect of the processor is most important when combined with the "shadow register" concept.

It looks as if the Morph Processor is a translated cache, where the Host Processor (see previous transmetta patent) reads from the the Morph Processor. The Host processor thinks it is reading from memory/bus/whatever but is actually reading from the Morph Processor.

Registers in the Morph Processor can be dynamically renamed or shadowed for particular execution forks. The transaction processing is scary when you start rolling back one fork of execution and commiting another without slowing the process!

More impressive is the ability of the Morph Processor to combine/evaluate/execute concurent execution paths from multiple programs in different languages using multiple Morph Software!
