No, there is no hardware support for multi-threading. Not more than a
traditional timer interrupt. The sliding register window is used for
faster function call and return.

In Altera development kits ,I can't find the description about it.
The Nios(tm) CPU soft core is a 16/32-bit RISC CPU core,specially,
it has the sliding register file windows technology. So I think it
maybe support hardware multi-thread technology,but I can't find the
relatial manual or reference.
Dose Altera Nios support hardware-based multi-thread and how??
