Modern X86 Assembly Language Programming: Covers X86 64-Bit, Avx, Avx2, and Avx-512

By Daniel Kusswurm

This book is an instructional text that will teach you how to code x86-64 assembly language functions. It also explains how you can exploit the SIMD capabilities of an x86-64 processor using x86-64 assembly language and the AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instruction sets.
This updated edition's content and organization are designed to help you quickly understand x86-64 assembly language programming and the unique computational capabilities of x86 processors. The source code is structured to accelerate learning and comprehension of essential x86-64 assembly language programming constructs and data structures. Modern X86 Assembly Language Programming, Third Edition includes source code for both Windows and Linux. The source code elucidates current x86-64 assembly language programming practices, run-time calling conventions, and the latest generation of software development tools.
What You Will LearnUnderstand important details of the x86-64 processor platform, including its core architecture, data types, registers, memory addressing modes, and the basic instruction setUse the x86-64 instruction set to create assembly language functions that are callable from C++Create assembly language code for both Windows and Linux using modern software development tools including MASM (Windows) and NASM (Linux)Employ x86-64 assembly language to efficiently manipulate common data types and programming constructs including integers, text strings, arrays, matrices, and user-defined structuresExplore indispensable elements of x86 SIMD architectures, register sets, and data types.Master x86 SIMD arithmetic and data operations using both integer and floating-point operandsHarness the AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instruction sets to accelerate the performance of computationally-intense calculations in machine learning, image processing, signal processing, computer graphics, statistics, and matrix arithmetic applicationsApply leading-edge coding strategies to optimally exploit the AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instruction sets for maximum possible performance

Who This Book Is ForSoftware developers who are creating programs for x86 platforms and want to learn how to code performance-enhanced algorithms using the core x86-64 instruction set; developers who need to learn how to write SIMD functions or accelerate the performance of existing code using the AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instruction sets; and computer science/engineering students or hobbyists who want to learn or better understand x86-64 assembly language programming and the AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instruction sets.

The best book for modern amd/intel instruction sets.

Better than the Hyde book for one simple reason: this book juxtaposes masm with nasm. Hyde claims that nasm is not commonplace so it’s not covered in his book. But in the world of cyber security where assembly language is crucial, nasm is commonplace, especially for malware developers. The language in Modern x86 Assembly Language Programming is excellent, and it’s straight to the point, and it explains why the book is structured and organized in the manner chosen by the author, which makes comprehension of the material much more approachable for a beginner.
