x86-64 Floating-Point Registers
TotalView displays the x86-64 floating-point registers in the Stack Frame Pane of the Process Window. The next table describes how TotalView treats each floating-point register, and the actions you can take with each register.

NOTE: The x86-64 has 16 128-bit registers that are used by SSE and SSE2 instructions. TotalView displays these as 32 64-bit registers. These registers can be used in the following ways: 16 bytes, 8 words, 2 longs, 4 floating point, 2 double, or a single 128-bit value. TotalView shows each of these hardware registers as two $long registers. To change the type, dive and then edit the type in the data window to be an array of the type you wish. For example, cast it to “$char[16]”, “$float[4], and so on.
