The DS2 and DS3 registers (which are specific to the NEC V55) act similar to regular x86 real mode segment registers except that they are left-shifted by 8 rather than 4, enabling access to 16MB of memory. Block transfer instructions, such as MOVBKW, can access the 16MB memory space by simultaneously prefixing with DS2 and DS3.
The x86 instruction set refers to the set of instructions that x86-compatible microprocessors support. The instructions are usually part of an executable program, often stored as a computer file and executed on the processor. The x86 instruction set has been extended several times, introducing wider registers and datatypes as well as new ...
VTune Profiler [2] [3] [4] [5] (formerly VTune Amplifier) is a performance analysis tool for x86-based machines running Linux or Microsoft Windows operating systems ...
Instructions that have been added to the x86 instruction set in order to assist efficient calculation of cryptographic primitives, such as e.g. AES encryption, SHA hash calculation and random number generation.
Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX), also called Transactional Synchronization Extensions New Instructions (TSX-NI), is an extension to the x86 instruction set architecture (ISA) that adds hardware transactional memory support, speeding up execution of multi-threaded software through lock elision.
AMD Opteron, the first CPU to introduce the x86-64 extensions in April 2003 The five-volume set of the x86-64 Architecture Programmer's Manual, as published and distributed by AMD in 2002. x86-64 (also known as x64, x86_64, AMD64, and Intel 64) [note 1] is a 64-bit extension of the x86 instruction set architecture first announced in
The Intel BCD opcodes are a set of six x86 instructions that operate with binary-coded decimal numbers. The radix used for the representation of numbers in the x86 processors is 2. This is called a binary numeral system. However, the x86 processors do have limited support for the decimal numeral system.
Das U-Boot (subtitled "the Universal Boot Loader" and often shortened to U-Boot; see History for more about the name) is an open-source boot loader used in embedded devices to perform various low-level hardware initialization tasks and boot the device's operating system kernel.
