	Methods and apparatus for determining the next instruction pointer in an out-of-order execution computer system - US ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		However, a processor that implements concurrent instruction retirement pipeline also creates further complications for solving the speculativeness and out-of-order generation of the result data for determining the next instruction pointer and enforcing an instruction pointer limit, because the result data of varying number of executed instructions are retired or committed during each retirement operation.
		The instruction fetch and micro-op issue circuit 32 generates the macro instruction pointer delta value for a logical micro-op to indicates the length in bytes of the corresponding macro instruction.
		The IPDELTA is a macro instruction pointer delta value that indicates the byte length of the macro instruction that generated the physical micro-op allocated to the corresponding ROB entry.

	Instruction pointer limits in processor that performs speculative out-of-order instruction execution - Patent 5740393
		A method for enforcing an instruction pointer limit in a processor, wherein a retire circuit determines a speculative instruction pointer for a set of retiring instruction during a retirement operation.
		The instruction pointer logic circuit 100 receives the lower 32 bits of a result data value, an instruction pointer delta value, and a branch flag from the fault data field for each of the retiring ROB entries over a portion 172 of the retirement bus 170.
		The instruction pointer logic circuit 100 determines an updated instruction pointer value for a retiring micro-op by selecting the corresponding lower 32 bits of the result data value as the updated current instruction pointer delta value if the retiring micro-op has a branch flag indicating a branch instruction.

	R.O.M.E.68000 Manual: III.7: The Instruction Pointer
		The instruction pointer appears as an implicit operand in many instructions: first of all, it is used implicitly in all jump instructions, both conditional and unconditional, but besides these it is also involved in all those instructions that can perform a conditional (or even unconditional) skip.
		When the instruction is being executed, hence, the IP is already pointing to the next instruction to execute, as said; if the current instruction does not alter it, this will be the instruction that will be fetched on the next cycle.
		22, in which the case of a jump instruction is depicted, the first two stages are the same as in the previous case, but before the instruction is completed a new value is loaded into the instruction pointer, to make it point to the target of the jump.

	L33t programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The language utilises a 64K block of memory, and 2 pointers - a memory pointer and an instruction pointer.
		It is legal to move the memory pointer into the area of memory occupied by the instructions, so code can be self modified at runtime.
		In all cases, the memory and instruction pointers should be data types large enough to cope with accessing all locations within the memory block (i.e.

		These are stored consecutively from the start of the array, except that the simulated instruction pointer is represented as a pair of zeroes just to the left of the next instruction to execute; so initially it is at the far left, before any coded instructions.
		Throughout the explanation, the simulated instruction pointer and the simulated data pointer are called the simulated IP and the simulated pointer; the pointer, with no adjective, means the real data pointer.
		Each case also leaves the pointer where it would have been had the instruction code been 9 -- that is, just far enough right to skip the subsequent cases -- except three cases that transfer control to later cases as a shortcut.

	Encyclopedia: X86
		There are 2 pointer registers (SP which points to the bottom of the stack, and BP which can be used to point at some other place in the stack or the memory).
		Unfortunately, these instructions were not easily mappable to the code generated by ordinary C compilers, and Microsoft, the dominant compiler vendor, was slow to support them even as intrinsics.
		The SSE3 instruction set included on the new Athlons are only lacking a couple of the instructions that Intel designed for HyperThreading, since the Athlon 64 doesn't support HyperThreading; however SSE3 is still recognized in software as being supported on the platform.

		The instruction pointer is a register in a computer processor holding the address of the instruction being executed.
		In most processors, the instruction pointer is incremented before the instruction is executed; this means that the target address of a branch instruction is obtained by adding the operand to the address of the next byte after the branch instruction.

	PCWorld.com - How It Works: CPUs
		The instruction pointer tells the CPU where in memory the instruction it needs to run is located.
		The fetch grabs the instruction and hands it to the instruction decoder, which examines the instruction and determines what steps are necessary to accomplish that instruction.
		Once an instruction has moved from the first step to the second step, the transistors that performed the first step are free to start working on the next instruction, therefore speeding up the process.

		The instruction pointer (also called the program counter in some computers) is a register in a computer processor which indicates where the computer is in its instructions.
		In most processors, the instruction pointer is incremented before the instruction is executed; this means that the target address of a branch instruction is obtained by adding the branch instruction's operand to the address of the next location (byte or word, depending on the computer type) after the branch instruction.
