Intel Microprocessor Interview Question:
Explain briefly the characteristics of the program invisible registers?
Submitted by: Administrator- The program invisible registers are used to access and specify the address tables of global and local descriptor tables.
- Since these types of register cannot be accessed directly by a program they are called invisible registers.
- The Global Descriptor table register contains the limit and the base addresses for the descriptor table. The same applies for the Interrupt descriptor table register.
- Since the maximum length is limited to 64 Kbytes the limit of each descriptor table is limited to 16 bits.
- The GTDR is loaded with the address of the global descriptor table whenever a protected mode operation is required.
