Question

求一段英文的翻译。。

In computer science, a task context (process, thread ...) is the minimal set of data used by this task that must be saved to allow a task interruption at a given date, and a continuation of this task at the point it has been interrupted and at an arbitrary future date.

The concept of context assumes significance in the case of interruptible tasks, wherein upon being interrupted the processor saves the context and proceeds to serve the Interrupt service routine. Thus, the smaller the context is, the smaller the latency is.

These data are located in:

Processor registers
Memory used by the task
On some Operating systems, control registers used by the system to manage the task

The storage memory (files) is not concerned by the "task context" in the case of a context switch; even if this can be stored for some uses (checkpointing).

在计算机科学中，一个任务的“上下文”（进程、线程……）是使任务能够在某时刻被“中断”所需要存储的最小数据集，并且须使这个任务能够恢复到被中断之前的状态并能在某未来时间继续运行。
“上下文”的概念在可中断任务中很关键。当任务被中断时，处理器保存上下文并去处理中断例程。所以上下文越小，系统的中断延迟就越小。
这些数据（指上下文数据）位于：
处理器寄存器
任务所用内存
在一些操作系统中，系统所用来管理任务的控制寄存器。
在上下文切换中，存储器中的内容（文件）并不属于“任务的上下文”，尽管这些数据可以被保存起来以备它用（记录点）
