Book Description

This book was written to introduce students to assembly language programming in MIPS. As with all assembly language programming texts, it covers basic operators and instructions, subprogram calling, loading and storing memory, program control, and the conversion of the assembly language program into machine code.

However this book was not written simply as a book on assembly language programming. The larger purpose of this text is to show how concepts in Higher Level Languages (HLL), such as Java or C/C++, are represented in assembly. By showing how program constructs from these HLL map into assembly, the concepts will be easier to understand and use when the programmer implements programs in languages like Java or C/C++.

Concepts such as references and variables, registers, binary and Boolean operations, subprogram execution, memory types (heap, stack, and static), and array processing are covered to clarify the decisions made when implementing HLL. Program control is presented using a mapping from structured programs in pseudo code to help students understand structured programming, and why it exists. Memory access in assembly is presented to high light the difference between references (pointers) and values, and how these impact HLL.

This book has numerous code examples, and many problems at the end of each chapter, and it is appropriate for a class in Assembly Language, or as a extra resource for a class in Computer Organization.

  This book concentrates the revised edition on protected-mode Pentium programming, MIPS assembly language programming, and use of the NASM and SPIM assemblers for a Linux orientation.

• Zen of Assembly Language: Knowledge (Michael Abrash)

  This book unlocks the secrets of writing superb assembly-language code. It assumes that you're already familiar with assembly language, at least acquainted with the registers and instructions of the 8088, and with the use of one of the popular PC assemblers.

• The Art of Assembly Language (Randall Hyde)

  This book presents assembly language from the high-level programmer's point of view, so you can start writing meaningful programs within days. It provides a comprehensive, plain-English, and patient introduction to assembly for non-assembly programmers.

• Guide to the Assembly Language of ATMEL-AVR-Microprocessors

  This book features a step-by-step approach in covering Assembly language programming of Atmel AVR microcontrollers. It offers a systematic approach in programming and interfacing of the Atmel AVR used in all the peripherals programming.

• x86-64 Assembly Language Programming with Ubuntu

  This book provides a reference for University level assembly language and systems programming courses. Specifically, this text addresses the x86-64 instruction set for the popular x86-64 class of processors using the Ubuntu 64-bit Operating System (OS).

• Programming from the Ground Up: Linux Assembly Language

  This book uses Linux assembly language to teach new programmers the most important concepts in programming. It starts by teaching how the computer works under the hood, so that the programmer will have a sufficient background to be successful.
