A new assembly language programming book from a well-loved master. Art of 64-bit Assembly Language capitalizes on the long-lived success of Hyde's seminal The Art of Assembly Language.

Randall Hyde's The Art of Assembly Language has been the go-to book for learning assembly language for decades. Hyde's latest work, Art of 64-bit Assembly Language is the 64-bit version of this popular text. This book guides you through the maze of assembly language programming by showing how to write assembly code that mimics operations in High-Level Languages. This leverages your HLL knowledge to rapidly understand x86-64 assembly language.

This new work uses the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM), the most popular x86-64 assembler today. Hyde covers the standard integer set, as well as the x87 FPU, SIMD parallel instructions, SIMD scalar instructions (including high-performance floating-point instructions), and MASM's very powerful macro facilities. You'll learn in detail: how to implement high-level language data and control structures in assembly language; how to write parallel algorithms using the SIMD (single-instruction, multiple-data) instructions on the x86-64; and how to write stand alone assembly programs and assembly code to link with HLL code. You'll also learn how to optimize certain algorithms in assembly to produce faster code.

Praise for The Art of 64-Bit Assembly, Volume 1

Praise for Hyde's Art of Assembly Language, 2nd edition

"Considering the fact that many people seem to have difficulties in learning assembler, this book is a very good read and effectively introduces the reader to this fascinating topic."
--The Ethical Hacker Network

"The Art of Assembly Language is a welcome addition to the bookshelf of any programmer who has yet to experience and appreciate deeper understanding of HLA gained as a result of reading the book."
--Dr. Dobb's

"The beauty of this book and HLA is that the HLA compiler insulates the beginner from the drudgery and trickery of getting started from zero knowledge."
--A.P. Lawrence

"And yes, people still do write in Assembly Language. And now, if you want to try this out for yourself, there is a great new book available to help you out. This is the second edition of Randall Hyde's The Art of Assembly Language."
--Scienceblogs.com

"As I remarked in respect of the first edition, if you want to use assembly language, or add it to your list of programming skills, this is the book to have."
--Linux Users of Victoria

"If you are a beginner and want to find your way into lower level programming and gain an understanding of how a machine's hardware works then this is a good way to get into things."
--I Programmer

"By the end of the book, readers will be pretty comfortable writing in programs using HLA and will have a new understanding of how computers operate."
--YYZtech.ca

"The Art of Assembly Language is a good book for teaching you the basics of Assembly through the use of HLA as Assembly 'training wheels.'"
--The Durham University Computing Society
