From the Back Cover
This updated edition’s content and organization are designed to help you quickly understand x86-64 assembly language programming and the unique computational capabilities of x86 processors. The source code is structured to accelerate learning and comprehension of essential x86-64 assembly language programming constructs and data structures. Modern X86 Assembly Language Programming, Third Edition includes source code for both Windows and Linux. The source code elucidates current x86-64 assembly language programming practices, run-time calling conventions, and the latest generation of software development tools.
You will:
- Understand important details of the x86-64 processor platform, including its core architecture, data types, registers, memory addressing modes, and the basic instruction set
- Use the x86-64 instruction set to create assembly language functions that are callable from C++
- Create assembly language code for both Windows and Linux using modern software development tools including MASM (Windows) and NASM (Linux)
- Employ x86-64 assembly language to efficiently manipulate common data types and programming constructs including integers, text strings, arrays, matrices, and user-defined structures
- Explore indispensable elements of x86 SIMD architectures, register sets, and data types.
- Master x86 SIMD arithmetic and data operations using both integer and floating-point operands
- Harness the AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instruction sets to accelerate the performance of computationally-intense calculations in machine learning, image processing, signal processing, computer graphics, statistics, and matrix arithmetic applications
- Apply leading-edge coding strategies to optimally exploit the AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instruction sets for maximum possible performance
About the Author
Daniel Kusswurm has 40+ years of professional experience as a software developer, computer scientist, and author. During his career, he has developed innovative software for medical devices, scientific instruments, and image processing applications. On many of these projects, he successfully employed x86 assembly language and the AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instruction sets to significantly improve the performance of computationally intense algorithms and solve unique programming challenges. His educational background includes a BS in electrical engineering technology from Northern Illinois University along with an MS and PhD in computer science from DePaul University.
Daniel is also the author multiple computer programming books, including Modern Arm Assembly Language Programming (ISBN: 9781484262665) and Modern Parallel Programming with C++ and Assembly Language (ISBN: 9781484279175), both published by Apress.Reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!
Yes, this book really goes into details of the assembly language. I am very pleased with this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good book to get to know the more advanced instructions.
A good reference. I wanted to know more about SIMD, AVX, AVX2, AVX-512 and this book makes a good reference. I've been writing some assembly since the '80s and this book brings me up to date on 'current' advanced x86_64 instructions. After all these years, I am still learning! Only thing is the author wasted (in my opinion) space in the book for Windows masm as I run all my SBCs, laptops, desktop, servers run Linux (which is covered in this book as well with nasm). Doesn't change the information given though on the instructions of course and still will recommend the book. Note I also bought Jeff Duntemann's book "X64 Assembly Language which is a good intro to x64 programming, but didn't cover the 'advanced' instructions. It is a good book also. Get both :) .
5.0 out of 5 stars There aren't enough books like this
There aren't that many assembly books on the market, comparatively speaking. Not many people are still into it in 2024. While in most areas this would be painful, Kusswurm's enormous attention to detail makes the plentiful examples not only easy to understand, but intuitive. You certainly will want some C++ knowledge going in, or at least enough programming sense to know what the C++ code is doing, but I think anyone interested in this book is either going to be a student or a lifelong programmer anyway so that's hardly a criticism.Coming in, I had little assembly experience, and as such I found the instruction-wise explanations extremely helpful - not just for what was said, but also the choices made, for in assembly one of the first things you learn is that the principles of commutativity in mathematics have little to do with computer processors. When faced with countless possible implementations for an algorithm, there are few better ways to learn than by studying those implemented by an expert in the field. There is not a great deal of discussion about uops and ports and clock cycles (certainly some), but this wasn't meant to be an architecture book - for that, it tends to refer to Intel documentation and Agner Fog's tables and the like. It is instead designed to teach you how to think through optimized assembly code, not so you will leave an expert, but so that you will know what you need to learn to write the program you need to write, and how to learn it. Highly recommend.
