Assembly Language Question

New D.I.C Head Joined: 28 Feb, 2006 Posts: 1 My Contributions	I came across this question in one of my courses that I'm not sure of. Here it is... QUOTE Show a pseudo assembly language code segment to load a new process onto a CPU (that is, to change the PC after restoring other registers) for a processor that contains arithmetic-logical registers R0-R3, processor status register PSR, condition code register CC, program counter PC, and instruction register IR. I know some assembly language from a course I took not too long ago, but I'm not sure what they want here. Is the "load" statement used to populate the registers one by one? Does the stack need to be used to save existing values? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Generally when I hear someone talk about loading a process, I think of a kernel operation that allocates memory for address space to hold running instructions, a data stack, and bookkeeping information such as status, priority, and owner information.
