Thank you, very much, Agner.
And Vortex, as well, I suspect.
This will help me learn a lot.

Agner's work is top-notch. (Vortex's too.) Thanks. :U

The latest update of my manuals is just small modifications here and there, including AMDs forthcoming XOP instruction set (previously named SSE5).

I have not tested the Core i7 processor yet because I don't have access to one. If somebody out there has a core i7 running 64 bit Linux, I would be happy to do a remote testing. (I have tried to do remote testing on Windows and it is very clumsy because the mouse is delayed. In Linux you can do everything from a command line without a mouse).

Hi agner,

For remote testing on Windows, could it be useful to try Mark Russinovich's PsExec tool?

Thanks for the tip. That might be possible.

Agner,

I wish we had you on board for solving the mysteries of instruction cache locality treated here...
