1. An multi-threaded processor comprising:
a decoder to decode instructions of a first thread of execution; and a memory block, the memory block associated with a set of user-configurable attributes; an execution unit in response to one or more instructions of the first thread of execution, to load a portion of the user-configurable attributes associated with the memory block from a cache memory, and store the portion of the user-configurable attributes in one or more registers, wherein a first attribute of the portion of the user-configurable attributes indicates a state of the block of memory. |
