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 highperformance code.LowLevel Programmingampnbspexplains Intel 64 architecture as the result of von Neumann architecture evolution.ampnbspampnbspThe book teaches the latest version of the C language C11 and assembly language from scratch.ampnbspampnbspIt 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.ampnbspOptimization capabilities and limits of modern compilers are examined enabling you to balance between program readability and performance. The use of various performancegain techniques is demonstrated such as SSE instructions and prefetching. Relevant Computer Science topics such as models of computation and formal grammars are addressed and their practical value explained.What Youll LearnLowLevel Programmingampnbspteaches programmers toFreely write in assembly languageUnderstand the programming model of Intel 64Write maintainable and robust code in C11Follow the compilation process andampnbspdecipher assembly listingsDebug errors in compiled assembly codeUse appropriate models of computation to greatly reduce program complexityWrite performancecritical codeComprehend the impact of a weak memory model in multithreaded applicationsWho This Book Is ForIntermediate to advanced programmers and programming students
