A kernel is a component of a computer operating system. [1] A comparison of system kernels can provide insight into the design and architectural choices made by the developers of particular operating systems.
Four registers are used to refer to four segments on the 16-bit x86 segmented memory architecture. DS ( data segment), CS ( code segment), SS ( stack segment), and ES (extra segment). Another 16-bit register can act as an offset into a given segment, and so a logical address on this platform is written segment : offset , typically in ...
x86-64 (also known as x64, x86_64, AMD64, and Intel 64) [note 1] is a 64-bit version of the x86 instruction set, first announced in 1999. It introduced two new modes of operation, 64-bit mode and compatibility mode, along with a new 4-level paging mode.
Microsoft and Sun Microsystems/Oracle also use term "x64", while many Linux distributions, and the BSDs also use the "amd64" term. Microsoft Windows, for example, designates its 32-bit versions as "x86" and 64-bit versions as "x64", while installation files of 64-bit Windows versions are required to be placed into a directory called "AMD64".

Carry-less Multiplication (CLMUL) is an extension to the x86 instruction set used by microprocessors from Intel and AMD which was proposed by Intel in March 2008 [1] and made available in the Intel Westmere processors announced in early 2010.
A modern rendering of the Utah teapot, an iconic model in 3D computer graphics created by Martin Newell in 1975. Computer graphics is a sub-field of computer science which studies methods for digitally synthesizing and manipulating visual content.
In computing, Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) is a single instruction, multiple data instruction set extension to the x86 architecture, designed by Intel and introduced in 1999 in its Pentium III series of central processing units (CPUs) shortly after the appearance of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD's) 3DNow!.
