Intel manual vol3a

The Intel 64 and IA Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 1, describes the basic architecture and programming environment of Intel 64 and IA processors. The Intel 64 and IA Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volumes 2A and 2B, describe the instruction set of the processor and the opcode structure. The Intel® 64 and IA Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 3: Instruction Set Reference (order number ) is part of a set that describes the architecture and programming environment of all Intel 64 and IA architecture processors. The Intel® 64 and IA Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volumes 3A: System Programming Guide Part 1 (order number ) is part of a set that describes the architecture and programming environment of all Intel 64 and IA architecture processors.

The Intel® 64 and IA Architectures Software Developer's Manual, Volumes 3C: System Programming Guide Part 3 (order number ) is part of a set that describes the architecture and programming environment of all Intel 64 and IA architecture processors. This volume continues coverage on system programming subjects begun in volumes 3A. Vol. 3B. MACHINE-CHECK ARCHITECTURE. INTERPRETING THE MCA ERROR CODES. When the processor detects a machine-check error condition, it writes a bit error. The Intel 64 and IA architectures define several serializing instructions. These instructions force the. processor to complete all modifications to flags, registers, and memory by previous instructions and to drain all. buffered writes to memory before the next instruction is fetched and executed. For example, when a MOV to.

In the Pentium 4, Intel Xeon, and P6 family processors, all bits of the time-stamp counter are read using RDMSR (just as with RDTSC). When WRMSR is used to write the time-stamp counter on processors before family [0FH], models [03H, 04H]: only the low-order bits of the time-stamp counter can be written (the high-order 32 bits are cleared. This means you have to multiply APIC timer counter ticks by this divide value to get the true CPU bus frequency. You could use a value of 1 (ticks on every bus cycle) up to (ticks on every th cycle). See Intel manual vol3A Chapter for details. NOTE: The Intel® 64 and IA Architectures Software Developer's Manual consists of nine volumes: Basic Architecture, Order Number ; Instruction Set Reference A-M, Order Number ; Instruction Set Reference N-U, Order Number ; Instruction Set Reference V-Z, Order Number.
