Assembly Programming And The 8086 Microprocessor

The Intel 8086 microprocessor is one of the most popular of all microprocessors, appearing in several version of the IBM Personal Computer, as well as numerous PC-compatibles, or 'clones', and the IBM PS/2 Models 25 and 30.

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.

Primarily intended for the undergraduate students of electronics and communication engineering, computer science and engineering, and information technology, this book skilfully integrates both the hardware and software aspects of the 8086 microprocessor. It offers the students an up-to-date account of the state-of-the-art microprocessors and therefore can be regarded as an incomparable source of information on recently developed microprocessor chips. The book covers the advanced microprocessor architecture of the Intel microprocessor family, from 8086 to Pentium 4. The text is organized in four parts. Part I (Chapters 1-7) includes a detailed description of the architecture, organization, instruction set, and assembler directives of microprocessor 8086. Part II (Chapters 8-11) discusses the math coprocessor, multiprocessing and multiprogramming, the different types of data transfer schemes, and memory concepts. Part III (Chapters 12-15) covers programmable interfacing chips with the help of extensive interfacing examples. Part IV (Chapters 16-18) deals with advanced processors--from 80186 to Pentium 4. This well-organized and student-friendly text should prone to be an invaluable asset to the students as well as the practising engineers. KEY FEATURES: Gives elaborate programming examples to develop the analytical ability of students. Provides solved examples covering different types of typical interfacing problems to develop the practical skills of students. Furnishes chapter-end exercises to reinforce the understanding of the subject.

This hands-on guide helps develop programming skills on the 8086-based microcomputers. Introduces readers to assembly language programming through a comprehensive set of input/output procedures and useful subroutines for the most popular 8086-based operating systems. Covering fundamental data types, segmentation, assembler operation and modular programming, these routines let users apply assembly language ``shortcuts'' and programming techniques to specific applications. Offers a brief outline of the design of the l6-bit microprocessor and the architecture of the 8086 including the 80286 family of chips, presents the essentials on binary and hexadecimal numbers and shows how to write and execute a program. The complete instruction set is presented in the last nine chapters.

This updated textbook introduces readers to assembly and its evolving role in computer programming and design. The author 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. 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, and the book is equally viable for DOS or Linux, MIPS (RISC) or CISC (Pentium). The book is based on a successful course given by the author and includes numerous hands-on exercises.
