Assembly Language for x86 Processors, Eighth 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.

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 x86 and Intel64 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

This edition represents this books transition into the world of interactive electronic textbooks. Were very excited about this innovative concept, because for the first time readers will be able to experiment and interact with review questions, code animations, tutorial videos, and multiple-input exercises.

• All section reviews in the chapters have been rewritten as interactive questions, giving the reader immediate feedback on their answers. New questions were added, others removed, and many revised.

• Code animations allow the reader to step through program code and view both variable values and comments about the code. Readers no longer have to visually jump back and forth between program code and text explanations on the next page.
