I am looking for a word describing the action of taking written lyrics (say, a poem) and composing a tune to fit.
e.g.




The album is based on Emily Dickinson poems




But "based on" sounds odd to me (I'm not a native English speaker)

          The expression you are looking for is set something to music:



          ​




          to write or provide music for a poem, story, or other words so that it can be performed:



          • The poem was set to music in 1888.

            You can use a variety of phrases to describe the act of composing a tune to match a poem. This Wikipedia article about "In the Bleak Midwinter" uses "set to" as in:




            The album consists of Emily Dickinson poems set to music by (Iron Maiden?!).




            In the case of "In the Bleak Midwinter" there are two settings. Each of these tunes may have numerous "orchestrations" or arrangements for different groups of instruments.

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.
