Subject: Average instruction length in x86-built kernel?
Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 17:32:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <42EAA05F.4000704@opersys.com> (raw)
I'm wondering if anyone's ever done an analysis on the average length
of instructions in an x86-built kernel.
Googling around, I can find references claiming that the average
instruction length on x86 is anywhere from 2.7 to 3.5 bytes, but I
can't find anything studying Linux specifically.
Just curious,
Karim
