Mythology


According to Guanche legend, Guayota lived inside the Teide volcano, one of the gateways to the underworld. Guayota was said to be represented as a black dog and was accompanied by demons, also in the form of black dogs, known as Tibicenas.


According to legend, Guayota kidnapped Magec (the sun) and shut it up in the Teide, plunging the world into darkness. Humans prayed to Achamán who saved Magec, and instead locked Guayota up in the Teide. Guayota is the king of evil genies, and was worshiped in the island of Tenerife in the Guanche religion.



Features


Guayota shares features similar to other malignant deity-inhabitants of volcanoes, as in the case of the goddess Pele in Hawaiian mythology, who lived in the Kīlauea volcano and was regarded by the native Hawaiians as responsible for the eruptions of the volcano.[1]



In popular culture


Currently, like other aboriginal gods, Guayota remains a typical canary creature folklore. His evocation is present in many and varied elements of popular culture:


  • In the northern city of Puerto de la Cruz is a pub named after him: the Pub Guayota.

  • In Granadilla de Abona is based the association: Bomberos Guayota (Guayota Firemen)

  • There is also the Grupo Folklórico Guayota.

  • A heavy metal band named after him.

  • There is an ultimate team called ¡Guayota Ultimate!

  • Guayota is featured as the main antagonist in "Night Broken" by Patricia Briggs, the eighth novel in her Mercy Thompson series.

  • In the indie video game Gaurodan, Guayota appears as the final boss.[2]

  • In the book The evil among us written in 2015, Guayota is mentioned.[3]

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...
