Addressing the Matrix05/28/2009
I were thinking of a set of privileged instructions as the only way to access the Matrix. But now it occurred to me that a more open (so powerful) mean would be to allow Kernel code to simply address the Matrix.
Of course, Kernel code will be doing so in Super-Linear space. However, only the most significant 17 bits of the (29 bits) Super-Linear address are needed since the other 12 represent the off-set within the page frame (as in Matrix entries). The following diagram illustrates the idea.
Register MD is not a real one but a fictitious resource provided by the CPU to facilitate Matrix Read/Write operations as in (for example):
MOVI MD, value
