Computer Organization And Assembly Language Programming For Ibm Pcs And Compatibles

This comprehensive book provides an up-to-date guide to programming the Intel 8086 family of microprocessors, emphasizing the close relationship between microprocessor architecture and the implementation of high-level languages.

This introduction to the organization and programming of the 8086 family of microprocessors used in IBM microcomputers and compatibles is comprehensive and thorough. Includes coverage of I/O control, video/graphics control, text display, and OS/2. Strong pedagogy with numerous sample programs illustrates practical examples of structured programming.

Teaches assembly language programs for the IBM-pc as well as the principles of computer operations. also covers the intel 8088 word processor & use of line editor.

Explains how the computer represents data and introduces the variables, constants, statements, and expressions of assembly language.

Textbook.

Praised by experts for its clarity and topical breadth, this visually appealing, one-stop source on PCs uses an easy-to-understand, step-by-step approach to teaching the fundamentals of 80x86 assembly language programming and PC architecture. Offering students a fun, hands-on learning experience, it uses the Debug utility to show what action the instruction performs, then provides a sample program to show its application. Reinforcing concepts with numerous examples and review questions, its oversized pages delve into dozens of related subjects, including DOS memory map, BIOS, microprocessor architecture, supporting chips, buses, interfacing techniques, system programming, memory hierarchy, DOS memory management, tables of instruction timings, hard disk characteristics, and more.* Covers all the x86 microprocessors, from the 8088 to the Pentium Pro. * Combines assembly and C programming early on. * Introduces the x86 instructions with examples of how they are used, and covers 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit programming of x86 microprocessors. * Uses fragments of programs from IBM PC technical reference. * Shows students a real-world approach to programming in assembly. * Ensures a basic un

Combining assembly and C programming, this book uses the Debug utility to show students what action instructions perform, and then provides programs to demonstrate their application. It contains examples, problems, and review questions, which reinforce concepts throughout. It is appropriate for microprocessor courses teaching the 80x86 family.
