Zusammenfassung:According to at least one example embodiment, a method and corresponding processor device comprise maintaining a translation data structure mapping uncompressed process context identifiers to corresponding compressed identifiers, the uncompressed process context identifiers and the corresponding compressed identifiers being associated with address spaces or corresponding computer processes. The compressed identifiers are employed to probe, or access, one or more structures of the processor device in executing an operation associated with a computer process.
