Machine Check Architecture
The AMD Athlon™ 64 processor and AMD Opteron™ processor machine check mechanism allows the processor to detect and report a variety of hardware (or machine) errors found when reading and writing data, probing, cache-line fills and writebacks. These include parity errors associated with caches and TLBs, ECC errors associated with caches and DRAM, as well as system bus errors associated with reading and writing to the external bus.

Software can enable the processor to report machine check errors through the machine check exception (See “#MC—Machine Check Exception” in AMD64 Architecture Programmer’s Manual, Volume 2: System Programming). Most machine checke xceptions do not allow reliable restarting of the interrupted programs. However, error conditions are logged in a set of model-specific registers (MSRs) that can be used by system software to determine the possible source of a hardware problem.
