Low-Level Programming: C, Assembly, and Program Execution on Intel® 64 Architecture
Learn Intel 64 assembly language and
architecture, become proficient in C, and understand how the programs are
compiled and executed down to machine instructions, enabling you to write
robust, high-performance code.
Low-Level Programming explains
Intel 64 architecture as the result of von Neumann architecture evolution. The
book teaches the latest version of the C language (C11) and assembly language
from scratch. It covers the entire path from source code to program execution,
including generation of ELF object files, and static and dynamic linking. Code
examples and exercises are included along with the best code practices.
Optimization capabilities and limits of modern compilers are examined, enabling
you to balance between program readability and performance. The use of various
performance-gain techniques is demonstrated, such as SSE instructions and
pre-fetching. Relevant Computer Science topics such as models of computation
andformal grammars are addressed, and their practical value explained.
