Internal Processor Registers
This chapter describes 21264/EV68A internal processor registers (IPRs). They are sep-
arated into the following circuit logic groups: Ebox, Ibox, Mbox, and Cbox.
The gray areas in register figures indicate reserved fields. Bit ranges that are coupled
with the field name specify those bits in that named field that are included in the IPR.
For example, in Figure 5–2, the field named COUNTER[31:4] contains bits 31 through
4 of the COUNTER field from Section 5.1.1. The bit range of COUNTER[31:4] in the
IPR is also listed in the column Extent in Table 5–2. In many cases, such as this one, the
bit ranges correspond. However, the bit range of the named field need not always corre-
spond to the Extent in the IPR. For example, in Figure 5–14, the field VA[47:13] resides
in IPR IVA_FORM[37:3] under the stated conditions.
The register contents after initialization are listed in Section 7.8.
Table 5–1 lists the 21264/EV68A internal processor registers.
