Hype for the Future 140D: System Requirements for Instruction Set Extensions (Intel x86)

Introduction Different instruction set extensions require generally different generations of Intel x86 processors. Please note that AVX-512 is only available on select processors in the Intel 11th and 12th generations. Specifications MMX: Pentium MMX or later (except Pentium Pro) SSE: Pentium III SSE2: Pentium 4 SSE3: Pentium 4 “Prescott” (2004) SSSE3: Core 2 Solo/Duo/Quad/Extreme SSE4, SSE4.1: Core 2 “Penryn” (2007/08) SSE4.2: Core “Nehalem” AVX: Core “Sandy […]

Hype for the Future 139K → Generating Code for 16-, 32-, and 64-bit Systems

Overview With the GNU Cross Compiler (GCC), the proper commands for code generation are gcc -m16 for 32-bit mode with 16-bit compatibility; gcc -m32 for standard 32-bit mode; gcc -mx32 for 64-bit code with 32-bit int, long, and pointer types; and gcc -m64 for standard 64-bit code.

Hype for the Future 139J → A Simple C Program

Introduction Perhaps the simplest programs in the C Programming Language are such programs that only require the puts() function in the entirety of the code. However, in the GNU dialect of C (and in POSIX more broadly), an additional requirement of a try-catch block with errno set is essential to creating proper code. Program #include int main(void) { int rc = puts("Hello!"); if (rc == EOF) perror("puts()") // errno must be set as POSIX requirement. }

Hype for the Future 139I → The GNU C Compiler

Overview The GNU C Compiler, gcc, is part of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and is identified as the primary system shell command based on build-essential in Ubuntu and the vast majority of Linux distributions otherwise based on Debian (.deb). The package names may vary, however slightly, on different types of kernel operating systems, but gcc remains an integral compiler for the vast majority of Linux, BSD, Solaris, and other UNIX-like implementations of operating systems containing GNU […]
