Who This Book Is For

 Software developers who are creating programs for x86 platforms and want to learn how to code performance-enhanced algorithms using the core x86-64 instruction set; developers who need to learn how to write SIMD functions or accelerate the performance of existing code using the AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instruction sets; and computer science/engineering students or hobbyists who want to learn or better understand x86-64 assembly language programming and the AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instruction sets.

 Assembly Programming and Computer Architecture for Software Engineers is an educational examination of Assembly programming and computer architecture. We approach these topics from a practical point of view, addressing why and how questions throughout the text. We begin by laying the foundation of computer language and computer architecture, and then we delve into Assembly programming as a mechanism for gaining a better understanding of computer architecture, and how Assembly can be used for software development.

 Most of the existing books on computer architecture have one or more of the following disadvantages: (1) based on a non-mainstream architecture; (2) written for computer and electrical engineers as opposed to computer scientists and software engineers; (3) focused on a single platformspecific development environment; (4) over-priced; and (5) lacking in practical content. We wanted to give our students something better

 Assembly Language for x86 Processors, 8th Edition, teaches assembly language programming and architecture for x86 and Intel64 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 recent versions of Microsoft Windows. 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 numerous languages.

 В книге рассматривается программирование для 64-разрядной архитектуры x86 и использование расширенного набора векторных команд (AVX). Изучив этот материал, вы сможете кодировать быстродействующие функции и алгоритмы с использованием 64-разрядного языка ассемблера x86 и расширений набора команд AVX, AVX2 и AVX-512.

 Примеры исходного кода разработаны с использованием Visual Studio C++ и MASM; для их запуска рекомендуется ПК на  базе x86 с 64-разрядной ОС Windows 10 и процессором, поддерживающим AVX.

 Предполагается, что читатели имеют опыт программирования на языках высокого уровня и базовые знания C++.

 Книга предназначена разработчикам, которые хотят научиться писать код с использованием языка ассемблера x64.

 Modern X86 Assembly Language Programming, Second Edition is an edifying text about x86 64-bit (x86-64) assembly language programming. The book’s content and organization are designed to help you quickly understand x86-64 assembly language programming and the computational resources of Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX). It also contains an abundance of source code that is structured to accelerate learning and comprehension of essential x86-64 assembly language constructs and SIMD programming concepts. After reading and using this book, you’ll be able to code performance-enhancing functions and algorithms using x86-64 assembly language and the AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instruction sets.

 Before proceeding I should explicitly mention that this book does not cover x86-32 assembly language programming. It also doesn’t discuss legacy x86 technologies such as the x87 floating-point unit, MMX, and Streaming SIMD Extensions. The first edition remains relevant if you’re interested in learning about these topics. This book does not explain x86 architectural features or privileged instructions that are used in operating systems. However, you will need to thoroughly understand the material that’s presented in this book to develop x86 assembly language code for use in an operating system.

 While it is still theoretically possible to write an entire application program using assembly language, the demanding requirements of contemporary software development make such an approach impractical and ill advised. Instead, this book concentrates on coding x86-64 assembly language functions that are callable from C++. Each source code example was created using Microsoft Visual Studio C++ and Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM).

 Assembly Language for x86 Processors, 7e is suitable for undergraduate courses in assembly language programming and introductory courses in computer systems and computer architecture. Proficiency in one other programming language, preferably Java, C, or C++, is recommended.

 Written specifically for 32- and 64-bit Intel/Windows platform, this complete and fully updated study of assembly language teaches students to write and debug programs at the machine level. This text simplifies and demystifies concepts that students need to grasp before they can go on to more advanced computer architecture and operating systems courses. Students put theory into practice through writing software at the machine level, creating a memorable experience that gives them the confidence to work in any OS/machine-oriented environment.
