The bottom bit of the opcode is used to indicate whether the AVX512 index register is considered a vector of sixteen signed 32-bit indexes (bit 0 not set) or eight signed 64-bit indexes (bit 0 set) The instructions all support operation masking by opmask registers. The only supported vector width is 512 bits.
Instruction set extensions that have been added to the x86 instruction set in order to support hardware virtualization.These extensions provide instructions for entering and leaving a virtualized execution context and for loading virtual-machine control structures (VMCSs), which hold the state of the guest and host, along with fields which control processor behavior within the virtual machine.
These instructions are also available in 32-bit mode, in which they operate on 32-bit registers (eax, ebx, etc.) and values instead of their 16-bit (ax, bx, etc.) counterparts. The updated instruction set is grouped according to architecture ( i186 , i286 , i386 , i486 , i586 / i686 ) and is referred to as (32-bit) x86 and (64-bit) x86-64 (also ...
The FMA instruction set is an extension to the 128 and 256-bit Streaming SIMD Extensions instructions in the x86 microprocessor instruction set to perform fused multiply–add (FMA) operations. [1] There are two variants: FMA4 is supported in AMD processors starting with the Bulldozer architecture. FMA4 was performed in hardware before FMA3 was.
Absoft Pro Fortran on 64-bit platforms supports both 32-bit and 64-bit executables; the user selects which format that the compiler will produce. Linux compilers are available in either 32-bit or 64-bit versions. The 32-bit version produces only 32-bit executables. All are bundled with a graphical debugger and an integrated development environment.
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 1999. It introduces two new operating modes: 64-bit mode and compatibility mode, along with a new four-level paging mechanism.
While what these instructions do is similar to bit level gather-scatter SIMD instructions, PDEP and PEXT instructions (like the rest of the BMI instruction sets) operate on general-purpose registers. [12] The instructions are available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. An example using arbitrary source and selector in 32-bit mode is:
Some 64-bit architectures, such as x86-64 and AArch64, support more general-purpose registers than their 32-bit counterparts (although this is not due specifically to the word length). This leads to a significant speed increase for tight loops since the processor does not have to fetch data from the cache or main memory if the data can fit in ...
