Abstract:
A processor of an aspect includes a decode unit to decode an instruction. The instruction is to indicate source memory address information, and the instruction to indicate a destination architecturally-visible storage location. The processor also includes an execution unit coupled with the decode unit. The execution unit, in response to the instruction, is to store a result in the destination architecturally-visible storage location. The result is to include one of: (1) a page group identifier that is to correspond to a logical memory address that is to be based, at least in part, on the source memory address information; and (2) a set of page group metadata that is to correspond to the page group identifier. Other processors, methods, systems, and instructions are disclosed.
