Wording in SDM is vague. Through experiment, I've verified that itc instruction observe full instruction latency with respect to memory operation that immediately follows it. It is pretty much in-line with what I think what the SDM is trying to say: it has implicit semi-serialization (next memory operation won't proceed until itc.d finishes). > - It uses some "nta" Do you have any performance data showing that nta is a win? - Ken - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
