I'm writing a scientific poster in a 3 columns format (multicols*3). I have two very tall and narrow images that I would like to use as column separators.



I would like to know if there is a proper way of doing it with the multicol package. Right know I'm doing it by using no ruler separator, and putting a wrapfigure in two of the columns, but i works only sometimes, and when it fails I don't understand why.



Thank you

  • this is easy enough if the columns are full height but a bit trickier on the first or last page where the balanced columns may be short, you would need to find the column height but then would you scale or crop the images to that height?

  • scale them, its a poster with a heading, and 3 colums below, where the text is. As separators I want to use the images, so I would scale them till the occupy the vercital space needed, however I don't know how to do it properly

  • @ManuelPena the zzz in the content of the multicols you can ignore, that just generates filler text (as you provided no example) the part it the preamble replaces the column separator rule by includegraphics[width=5pt, height=imgh]example-image so replace that image name by the image you want to use

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
