Re: Re: Paging Queries

Hi,
Intel online manuals,
You google it and get all of them and read 3 rd one.
Actually all are interesting but quite large.

In my view,for knowing the kernel, the knowledge of underlying computer architecture is a must. The detailed description of the arch is usually published by the manufacturer. I think it is a good idea to study those manuals before asking about computer architecture.

For x86, http://www.x86.org is a good place to be. A lot of manuals and articles. esp see processor manuals.

For PPC, http://www-306.ibm.com/chips/techlib/techlib.nsf/productfamilies/PowerPC

Linux supports a lot more archs But I have no idea.
