Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts


The Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts (ALBA; French: Académie libanaise des Beaux-Arts; Arabic: الأكاديمية اللبنانية للفنون الجميلة‎) was originally a stand-alone Lebanese institute, now one of the faculties at the University of Balamand, teaching courses in fine art. It was founded in 1937, and it was the first national institution of higher education in Lebanon. In 1988, it joined the University of Balamand during its foundation as one of the three founding faculties at the time.


The faculty currently offers several programs in French in its original location in Sin el Fil, Beirut. They include, but are not limited to, architecture, decorative arts, plastic arts, urban and regional planning, Graphic Design, Digital art direction, Fashion design and audiovisual directing. In October 2000, the University of Balamand launched new programs in English for the faculty at its main campus in El-Koura, which now consists of Architecture, Interior Architecture, Graphic Design and Computer Graphics And Interactive Media.

History


Founded in 1937 by a group of young classical musicians led by the engineer Alexis Boutros.[citation needed]



Details on the foundations of its fields


In 1943, a branch of architecture was sponsored by the famous French engineer Daniel Abou Dargham.


In 1948, the school of letters was created which graduated specialists in literature, history and geography.


There followed in 1949 by the school of political and economic science.


In 1950, the academy set up a school of law, which was forced to close later in 1959.


In a later stage, additional fields of study were added to the basic core such as the school of classic dance, the school of acting and the school of sculpture.


The academy added new sections of publicity and information in 1975, and audio-visual production in 1987, and urban studies in 1994


Soon after the death of Alexis Boutros, Mr. Georges Haddad was appointed dean of Alba in 1979. He struggled during the civil war to keep the programs running. He managed to achieve the fusion with University of Balamand in 1988.

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...
