This comprehensive guide enables serious programmers to take full advantage of the unique design of the 80386 and 80286 microprocessors found in the IBM PC AT, COMPAQ Desk Pro 286 and other major computer systems. Instructions for programming the 8087/80287/80387 coprocessor are also included.
Designed for use on advanced architecture courses, this is a practical reference text for anyone interested in assembly language programming and, more specifically, the configuration and programming of the Intel-based personal computer. Coverage includes both a concise presentation of assembly language programming for the beginner and a complete study of advanced topics. A disk containing many of the more advanced versions of the example programs is included with the text. This disk contains the unassembled source files of many of the example programs. It also contains a macro include file that eases the task of assembly language programming by providing macros that perform most of the I/O tasks associated with assembly language programming.
The authors provide a comprehensive guide to Assembly language for the Intel 8086 family through to 80386. The programmer reading this book will be able to write efficient assembly programs, understand extended and protected mode, and be familiar with Microsoft's Macro Assembler.
This textbook introduces readers to assembly and its role in computer programming and design. The author concentrates on covering the 8086 family of processors up to and including the Pentium. The focus is on providing students with a firm grasp of the main features of assembly programming, and how it can be used to improve a computer's performance. All of the main features are covered in depth: stacks, addressing modes, arithmetic, selection and iteration, as well as bit manipulation. Advanced topics include: string processing, macros, interrupts and input/output handling, and interfacing with such higher-level languages as C. The book is based on a successful course given by the author and includes numerous hands-on exercises.
Keeping students on the forefront of technology, this text offers a practical reference to all programming and interfacing aspects of the popular Intel microprocessor family.
This comprehensive text provides an easily accessible introduction to the principles and applications of microprocessors. It explains the fundamentals of architecture, assembly language programming, interfacing, and applications of Intel’s 8086/8088 micro-processors, 8087 math coprocessors, and 8255, 8253, 8251, 8259, 8279 and 8237 peripherals. Besides, the book also covers Intel’s 80186/80286, 80386/80486, and the Pentium family micro-processors. The book throughout maintains an appropriate balance between the basic concepts and the skill sets needed for system design. A large number of solved examples on assembly language programming and interfacing are provided to help the students gain an insight into the topics discussed. The book is eminently suitable for undergraduate students of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, and Information Technology.
