Abstract:
In one embodiment, a processor comprises: a first configuration register to store a pointer to a process address space identifier (PASID) table; and an execution circuit coupled to the first configuration register. The execution circuit, in response to a first instruction, is to obtain command data from a first location identified in a source operand of the first instruction, obtain a PASID table handle from the command data, access a first entry of the PASID table using the pointer from the first configuration register and the PASID table handle to obtain a PASID value, insert the PASID value into the command data, and send the command data to a device coupled to the processor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
