The Pentium processor and more recent processor families use branch-prediction techniques to improve performance by prefetching the destination of a branch instruction before the branch instruction is executed. Consequently, instruction execution is not deterministically serialized when a branch instruction is executed.
这意味着什么?
它确实是健全的,确实是坏的。 它像CPUID这样的连续指令一样,打破了分支预测(或反之亦然),但这似乎不大可能。 任何公民团体都能够帮助我了解“非决定性”在这方面的含义。
