Modern X86 Assembly Language Programming: Covers x86 64-bit, AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512, 2/e (Paperback)

Gain the fundamentals of x86 64-bit assembly language programming and focus on

the updated aspects of the x86 instruction set that are most relevant to application

software development. This book covers topics including x86 64-bit programming and

Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) programming.

The focus in this second edition is exclusively on 64-bit base programming architecture

and AVX programming. Modern X86 Assembly Language Programming’s structure and

sample code are designed to help you quickly understand x86 assembly language

programming and the computational capabilities of the x86 platform. After reading

and using this book, you’ll be able to code performance-enhancing functions and

algorithms using x86 64-bit assembly language and the AVX, AVX2 and AVX-512

instruction set extensions.
