Below table is obtained from Intel online training on How to detect an HT processor.
It desible the register ebx bits to indentify the APIC IDs for all the processors.
ebx Bit 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24
-----------------------------------
APIC ID P P P P P P P/L P/L
-----------------------------------
1
processor X X X X X X X X
-----------------------------------
2 logical
processors X X X X X X X L0/1
-----------------------------------
4 logical
processors X X X X X X L3/4 L3/4
--------------------------------------
Referring to the table above, why is it 4 logical processors,at the bits 24 and 25 is L3/4 ? Why not at bit 24 and 25 respectively L0/1 and L2/3?
What is L0/1, L3/4 represent? What does it mean?
Thank you!
