Brendan O'Brien (born June 30, 1960) is a record producer, mixer, engineer, and musician.[1] He has worked with such artists as Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Rage Against the Machine, The Black Crowes, Incubus, Train, The Killers, Seether, Kansas, King's X, The Offspring, Korn, The Fray, Wolfmother, Gaslight Anthem, Mastodon, Third Day, Lifehouse, Pantera, and My Chemical Romance.[2][3]


His career blossomed as a young guitarist with a local Atlanta band by the name of "Pranks" signed by then Century Artists Management. The management company had the best of Atlanta and the region in those days including the likes of "Mother's Finest" "Ezra Pound" and a dozen other "super-regional" acts. In the late 1970s, he moved on to writing, performing and recording with the band Samurai Catfish.


His studio career was propelled by the success of the first Black Crowes album, Shake Your Money Maker, on which he played guitar and bass and engineered.[4] He started working in collaboration with newcomer to the Los Angeles music scene, Jimmy Boyle, who would go on to record and produce bands including the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Andrew Dice Clay. Boyle credits everything he knows from production, to recording, to even song writing to Brendan and his influence as friend and mentor.


In the mid 1990s, O'Brien became vice president of Epic Records and the Epic imprint 57 Records.[1] He also played a Hammond organ for Bob Dylan's appearance on MTV Unplugged. In 1995, he joined Pearl Jam and Neil Young on keyboard for the Mirror Ball tour across Europe.[5]


In 2002, he won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album for his work on Bruce Springsteen's The Rising.[6] In 2009, he was awarded the Grammy Award for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical.[7] To date, 14 of the albums O'Brien has produced have reached No. 1 in the U.S. on the Billboard 200 chart.[citation needed]


In 2015, he produced Higher Truth, the final release by Chris Cornell.


In 2017, O'Brien received credits producing on track three of the EP Cold Dark Place by progressive rock band Mastodon.[8]

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...
