MOVDIR64B moves 64-bytes as direct-store with 64-bytes write atomicity. Direct store is implemented by using write combining (WC) for writing data directly into memory without caching the data. In low latency offload (e.g. Non-Volatile Memory, etc), MOVDIR64B writes work descriptors (and data in some cases) to device-hosted work-queues atomically without cache pollution. Availability of the MOVDIR64B instruction is indicated by the presence of the CPUID feature flag MOVDIR64B (CPUID.0x07.0x0:ECX[bit 28]). Please check the latest Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions and Future Features Programming Reference for more details on the CPUID feature MOVDIR64B flag.
