x86-64 Floating-Point Registers

Reference_Guide : Classic TotalView Reference Guide : PART IV Platforms and Operating Systems : Architectures : AMD and Intel x86-64 : x86-64 Floating-Point Registers

TotalView displays the x86-64 floating-point registers in the Stack Frame Pane of the Process Window. The next table describes how TotalView treats each floating-point register, and the actions you can take with each register.

XMM0_H ... XMM7_H	Streaming SIMD -Extension: right half	$long	yes	yes	$xmm0_h ... $xmm7_h
XMM8_L ... XMM15_L	Streaming SIMD -Extension: left half	$long	yes	yes	$xmm8_l ... $xmm15_l

NOTE: The x86-64 has 16 128-bit registers that are used by SSE and SSE2 instructions. TotalView displays these as 32 64-bit registers. These registers can be used in the following ways: 16 bytes, 8 words, 2 longs, 4 floating point, 2 double, or a single 128-bit value. TotalView shows each of these hardware registers as two $long registers. To change the type, dive and then edit the type in the data window to be an array of the type you wish. For example, cast it to “$char[16]”, “$float[4], and so on.
