The sun ultra spark processor has multiple register sets what else must happen if the new context is in memory rather than in a register set and all the register sets are in use?

The CPU current-register-set pointer is changed to point to the
set containing the new context,which takes very little time. If the context
is in memory, one of the contexts in a register set must be chosen and be
moved to memory, and the new context must be loaded from memory
into the set. This process takes a little more time than on systems with
one set of registers, depending on how a replacement victim is selected

What would happen if the processor overheats?
Most computer made in the last 10 years or so have a temperature sensor which prevents the processor from being damaged by overheating. In these cases, when the processor overheats the system will restart. In cases where the processor does not have an overheat protection system the CPU can be damaged. This usually renders the computer completely inoperative, not even able to complete the POST (power on self test) process. In laymans terms, youll turn the machine on, youll hear the fans & disks spin, but nothing will appear on screen. It is important to note that a fried CPU is not the ONLY issue which could cause those symptoms, and that a mildly cooked CPU can have other effects, your milage may vary.
What happened if CPU reaches 100 percent in usage?
With modern processors all that should happen is that they will automatically slow themselves down (though the usage will still show as 100%) to prevent the danger of overheating. In theory, at least, running at 100% usage should not be harmful to the processor.
What happens if you overclock a computer too much?
Lots of things can happen when you overclock, which is why it is generally not recommended for most people. * The system could simply refuse to boot, or lock up, because everything is out of sync. * The parts could be permanently damaged or destroyed by excess voltage / heat. * The processor could literally catch fire (very rare). * The system could run, apparently normally,but suffer unexplained crashes and errors.

What is the function of a socket processor?
"Socket" is what you call the frame the processor is seated on. There's "socket A processors" for example, maybe that is what you mean. They perform the same task as any other processor, they just happen to fit on a normed socket called "socket A". A socket has no processor of its own, it just connects the CPU to the motherboard.
