Thanks, I will use some of this text if I can, and be sure to give
Matt credit. If that was too much detail, is there a place for the
detail?
Next week I am going to attempt to determine the cache size via the
cpuid instruction, and export some of the calculation parameters via
sysctl (to help with some simulations that we are going to be doing).
Given that nobody has done this yet, am I missing something that will
bite me? The intel IA32 manuals seem to indicate that most of the
(intel) cpu's in use today should support cpuid 2 lookup?
Thanks.
Chad
