Links to Intel Architecture documentation
I have been getting several direct requests from members of this community (who are developing new parallel computing courses), that the generally published text book material is soulfully lacking current processor technology. Rhetorical question: Why develop new parallel courseware using single core processor documentation?

Intel maintains a series of Software Developers Manuals (SDM) that cover all the Intel architectures in minute detail, all they way back to the Pentium. including the current processor technology of Intel® Atom processor family and the Intel® Core i7 processor family.

These SDMs are avaiable online and can be ordered on a CD-Rom.

This resource CD-Rom contains the following manuals:

Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual Volume 1: Basic Architecture
Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual Volume 2A: Instruction Set Reference, A-M
Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual Volume 2B: Instruction Set Reference, N-Z
Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual Volume 3A: System Programming Guide Part 1
Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual Volume 3B: System Programming Guide Part 2
Intel® 64 Architecture x2APIC Specification
Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Application Note TLBs, Paging-Structure Caches, and Their Invalidation
Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Optimization Reference Manual


Links for these very current SDMs (that can be downloaded) are as follows:

http://download.intel.com/design/processor/manuals/253668.pdf
http://download.intel.com/design/processor/manuals/253669.pdf

I also have a presentation of the Intel® Processor Micro-architecture – Core, that I can share with this community, based on interest - I'll post it to the academic community.

Let me know your thoughts - is this material useful, does it meet your needs?
