| 31. | This is very similar to the way CPUs with microcode execute one microinstruction per cycle.
|
| 32. | This was accomplished by having a separate microcode routine for every common pair of instructions.
|
| 33. | The microcode was stored on these disks.
|
| 34. | Both pipelines are 64-bit for floating point operations and are controlled by microcode.
|
| 35. | However, IBM uses microcode to limit code execution to Java and XML workloads only.
|
| 36. | The drivers still have to load proprietary microcode into the GPU to enable hardware acceleration.
|
| 37. | It could also be used to load new microcode dynamically whilst the machine was running.
|
| 38. | However, it continued to use native x86 execution and ordinary microcode only, like K5.
|
| 39. | The 2100 offered a vertical microcode.
|
| 40. | The microcode, stored in flash memory, is modifiable using a gcc-based toolchain.
