Description

Assembly Language for x86 Processors, Sixth Edition, teaches assembly language programming
and architecture for Intel and AMD processors. It is an appropriate text for the following types
of college courses:
• Assembly Language Programming
• Fundamentals of Computer Systems
• Fundamentals of Computer Architecture
Students use Intel or AMD processors and program with Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM),
running on Windows 98, XP, Vista, and Windows 7. Although this book was originally designed
as a programming textbook for college students, it serves as an effective supplement to computer
architecture courses. As a testament to its popularity, previous editions have been translated into
Spanish, Korean, Chinese, French, Russian, and Polish.

Emphasis of Topics This edition includes topics that lead naturally into subsequent courses
in computer architecture, operating systems, and compiler writing:
• Virtual machine concept
• Instruction set architecture
• Elementary Boolean operations
• Instruction execution cycle
• Memory access and handshaking
• Interrupts and polling
• Hardware-based I/O
• Floating-point binary representation
Other topics relate specially to Intel and AMD architecture:
• Protected memory and paging
• Memory segmentation in real-address mode
• 16-bit interrupt handling
• MS-DOS and BIOS system calls (interrupts)
• Floating-point unit architecture and programming
• Instruction encoding
Certain examples presented in the book lend themselves to courses that occur later in a computer
science curriculum:
• Searching and sorting algorithms
• High-level language structures
• Finite-state machines
• Code optimization examples
