Debugger Command

 

Definition

p

 

Similar to the t command, single steps the

 

 

simulation one instruction, unless the current

 

 

instruction is a call, software interrupt, or

 

 

repeated string instruction, in which case this

 

 

command sets a temporary execution

 

 

breakpoint at the instruction sequentially

 

 

following the current instruction, and starts

 

 

simulation.

r [regname[= <value>]]

 

Displays, and optionally alters, the contents of

 

 

various CPU registers. For a list of register

 

 

names that are supported, type R?. Normally,

 

 

the display is in the current CPU mode. To

 

 

force 16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit register display,

 

 

type R16, R32, or R64 respectively.

R16

 

Display 16-bit registers (until the next

 

 

instruction).

R32

 

Display 32-bit registers (until the next

 

 

instruction).

R64

 

Display 64-bit registers (until the next

 

 

instruction).

s <Bus> <Device> <Function>

 

Displays the PCI configuration registers

 

 

associated with the given Bus, Device, and

 

 

Function number.

t [count]

 

Executes [count] instructions. The default value

 

 

for [count] is 1.

u [address range]

 

Disassembles instructions starting, at the given

 

 

address and continuing for [length] instructions.

 

 

Instructions are disassembled using the current

 

 

CPU execution mode.

v

 

Displays the version number information for the

 

 

attached processor device.

q<a1> [noncase] <StartAddress>[,[lp]] <[[L]Length] [EndAddress]> <Pattern>

Search physical (default) or linear Memory for pattern and display all or only first occurrence(s).

Table 10-7: Debugger Commands and Definitions

In general, address and count values can be specified as constants (hex for addresses, ports, and values; decimal for counts and lengths), or as register names. For addresses, the CS:, DS:, ES:, FS:, GS:, and SS: prefixes are also allowed.

Address values may be suffixed by „,L‟ to specify a linear address (the default) or „,P‟ to specify a physical address. Addresses may also be specified by their symbol name. Precede the symbol name with a # character to distinguish it from a hex constant.

4.4.5 specifications

AMD 4.4.5 is a robust version of the AMD software ecosystem that focuses on enhanced performance, stability, and efficiency for users relying on AMD processors and graphics cards. This iteration brings various features and technologies designed to optimize gaming, professional applications, and general computing tasks.

One of the standout enhancements in AMD 4.4.5 is the integration of Smart Access Memory technology, which allows the CPU to access the full graphics memory directly. This feature enhances data flow between the CPU and GPU, leading to improved frame rates and overall performance, especially in memory-intensive games. Users can experience a marked increase in gaming performance without the need for additional hardware upgrades.

Another significant feature introduced is the updated Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition. This software update encompasses optimizations for various games, ensuring that gamers can enjoy a seamless experience with the latest titles. The Adrenalin interface also provides features such as Radeon Chill, which helps reduce power consumption during less demanding scenes, and Radeon Anti-Lag, designed to minimize input lag and enhance responsiveness in competitive gaming.

Additionally, AMD 4.4.5 brings the latest drivers that include important performance enhancements and bug fixes that allow for greater system stability. Regular updates ensure that users have the best experience with their AMD hardware, and it significantly bolsters compatibility with the latest gaming titles and software applications.

AMD's Enhanced Sync technology offers users the ability to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering while delivering smooth gameplay. It dynamically synchronizes the refresh rate of the display with the frame rates produced by the GPU, improving the visual experience significantly.

With the introduction of FidelityFX Super Resolution, AMD continues to bolster its suite of technologies that enhance graphics quality and performance. This feature allows lower-resolution images to be upscaled effectively, making it easier for users to enjoy high-end visuals without taxing their hardware excessively.

In summary, AMD 4.4.5 represents a comprehensive update for users by integrating cutting-edge technologies that cater to a wide range of applications from gaming to content creation. With enhancements across the board, AMD reaffirms its commitment to providing high-performance solutions that keep pace with the ever-evolving technology landscape. Whether for gaming aficionados or professional creators, the capabilities offered in this version make it a significant milestone in the AMD software ecosystem.
