I have just started reading about architectural features of "pentium-4". I have following questions: 1) I have read "IA-32 software developers manuals". No information has been given about hardware prefetching. Can anyone suggest some material which explains more details about "hardware prefetching" (pentium4 if possible). 2) This is a non-technical question. Does Intel company reveals all details about its processors(say pentium-4) like what is the exact dynamic branching algorithm used to predict conditional branches...etc? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

You have to look at this: http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/documentation.htm#manuals and possibly give a look at the "Pentium 4 optimizations manual". BTW, even if I'm not aware of what informations do you need about prefetching, P4 offers prefetch[n]-nta instructions that you can find in the "IA32 Architecture Manual, vol 2". Prefetching can be emulated in someway... but it needs a better explanatory here. > 2) This is a non-technical question. > Does Intel company reveals all details about its > processors(say pentium-4) like what is the exact > dynamic branching algorithm used to predict > conditional branches...etc? You can find some descriptions in every good book about computer architectures... Attilio -- Peace can only be achieved by understanding - A. Einstein
