INTERRUPT AND EXCEPTION HANDLING
Saved Instruction Pointer
The saved contents of CS and EIP registers point to the SSE/SSE2/SSE3 instruction
that was executed when the SIMD floating-point exception was generated. This is the
faulting instruction in which the error condition was detected.
Program State Change
A program-state change does not accompany a SIMD floating-point exception
because the handling of the exception is immediate unless the particular exception is
masked. The available state information is often sufficient to allow recovery from the
error and re-execution of the faulting instruction if needed.
