where can i find the whole instruction set of sandybridge?

[Lin_W_1]

Hi

      I got a "invalid opcode" exception when I used "invd" instruction to invalidate all the caches without flushing cache data to memory on Sandybridge.

      I doubt that when "invd" is supported on Sandybridge, where can I find a spec of the whole instructions set of sandybridge?

      or anyone has the similiar exprience as me, and could give me some help and suggestions?

Thanks very much

Please consult Intel processor manuals.

The Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer Manuals can be found here: http://www.intel.de/content/www/us/en/processors/architectures-software-developer-manuals.html The instruction set reference is in Volume 2. "invd" is supported from Intel486 onwards. However, it is a privileged instruction. Maybe this is the issue that you are running into.

Is your code compiled and used as a WDM kernel mode driver?
