MMX™ TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM
PROGRAMMING
This chapter describes those features of the Intel
®
MMX™ technology that must be considered
when designing or enhancing an operating system to support MMX technology. It covers MMX
instruction set emulation, the MMX state, aliasing of MMX registers, saving MMX state, task
and context switching considerations, exception handling, and debugging.
11.1 EMULATION OF THE MMX INSTRUCTION SET
The IA-32 architecture does not support emulation of the MMX instructions, as it does for x87
FPU instructions. The EM flag in control register CR0 (provided to invoke emulation of x87
FPU instructions) cannot be used for MMX instruction emulation. If an MMX instruction is
executed when the EM flag is set, an invalid opcode exception (UD#) is generated. Table 11-1
shows the interaction of the EM, MP, and TS flags in control register CR0 when executing
MMX instructions.
11.2 THE MMX STATE AND MMX REGISTER ALIASING
The MMX state consists of eight 64-bit registers (MM0 through MM7). These registers are
aliased to the low 64-bits (bits 0 through 63) of floating-point registers R0 through R7 (see
Figure 11-1). Note that the MMX registers are mapped to the physical locations of the floating-
point registers (R0 through R7), not to the relative locations of the registers in the floating-point
register stack (ST0 through ST7). As a result, the MMX register mapping is fixed and is not
affected by value in the Top Of Stack (TOS) field in the floating-point status word (bits 11
through 13).
Table 11-1. Action Taken By MMX Instructions for Different Combinations
of EM, MP and TS
CR0 Flags
EM MP* TS Action
0 1 0 Execute.
0 1 1 #NM exception.
1 1 0 #UD exception.
1 1 1 #UD exception.
NOTE:
* For processors that support the MMX instructions, the MP flag should be set.
