Intel x86 Floating-Point Registers

TotalView : TotalView Reference Guide : PART IV Platforms and Operating Systems : Architectures : Intel x86 : Intel x86 Floating-Point Registers

TotalView displays Power floating point registers in the Registers view. The next table describes how TotalView treats each floating-point register, and the actions you can take with each register.

NOTE: The Pentium III and 4 have 8 128-bit registers that are used by SSE and SSE2 instructions. TotalView displays these as 16 64-bit registers. These registers can be used in the following ways: 16 bytes, 8 words, 2 long longs, 4 floating point, 2 double, or a single 128-bit value. TotalView shows each of these hardware registers as two $long long registers. To change the type, dive and then edit the type in the data window to be an array of the type you wish. For example, cast it to “$char[16]”, “$float[4], and so on.
