Intel apic manual

Overview. Overview; Overview. The Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) Fabric hardware includes an Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) appliance (a cluster of three controllers), one or more leaf switches, and one or more spine switches for each leaf switch (for switch compatibility, please see the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches data sheets). In computing, a programmable interrupt controller (PIC) is an integrated circuit that helps a microprocessor (or CPU) handle interrupt requests (IRQ) coming from multiple different sources (like external I/O devices) which may occur simultaneously. It helps prioritize IRQs so that the CPU switches execution to the most appropriate interrupt handler (ISR) after the PIC assesses the IRQ's local APIC is not a piece of hardware shared by multiple logical processors, each logical processor has its own local APIC. Constrast that with physical memory, which is shared by multiple processors. Take a look at the basic diagram in chapter 2 of volume 1 of the software developer's manual, fig 2-6 and 2-7, for example.

These thresholds have the capability of generating interrupts using the processor IA core's local APIC. Refer to the Intel 64 Architectures Software Developer's Manual for specific register and programming details. I don't find any descriptions about the sequence of disable IO-APIC and Local APIC in "Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures software developer's manual volume 3A". Only erratum AVR31 for "Intel Atom Processor C2000 Product Family Specification Update". AVR31. Interrupts That Target an APIC That is Being Disabled May Result in a System Hang More efficient MSR interface to access APIC registers: To enhance inter-processor and self-directed interrupt delivery as well as the ability to virtualize the local APIC, the APIC register set can be accessed only through MSR-based interfaces in x2APIC mode. The Memory Mapped IO (MMIO) interface used by xAPIC is not supported in x2APIC mode. BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide (BKDG) for AMD Family 16h Models 30h-3Fh Processors.

The Intel I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller is used to distribute external interrupts in a more advanced manner than that of the standard 8259 PIC. With the I/O APIC, interrupts can be distributed to physical or logical (clusters of) processors and can be prioritized. Each I/O APIC typically handles 24 external interrupts. Contents
