More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This textbook introduces the reader to assembly language programming 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, and bit manipulation; and amongst the advanced topics covered are: string processing, macros, interrupts and input/output handling, and interfacing with higher-level languages such as C. A particular strength is the discussion of the improvements in performance that can be achieved using assembly programming where appropriate. The book is based on several years of a successful course offered by the author and includes numerous hands-on exercises for students to undertake.

Good for undergraduate courses
15 Feb 2000
Format:Hardcover
This book can be a good choice for Computer Architecture introductory courses using IA32 as ISA reference. It can be useful for students as a general reference. However, complementary classic texts are also needed to cover a course, because the text of Dandamudi refers only to IA32, lacks a desiderable formal approach, and covers poorly (or does not cover) some typical issues (floating-point, DMA).

Readers beware!
8 Feb 2000
Format:Hardcover
Good introductory books on assembly language are hard to come by, especially for the Intel platform. This is an attempt to fill the gap, and looking through the topics covered, it looks promising. Unfortunately, the language is so poor that the book is virtually unreadable. Almost every piece of information is repeated 2 or 3 times, sometimes resulting in an almost comical effect.
So, better luck with another book...
