Learn Intel 64 assembly language and architecture become proficient in C and understand how the programs are compiled and executed down to machine instructions enabling you to write robust highperformance code.LowLevel Programmingampampnbspexplains Intel 64 architecture as the result of von Neumann architecture evolution.ampampnbspampampnbspThe book teaches the latest version of the C language C11 and assembly language from scratch.ampampnbspampampnbspIt covers the entire path from source code to program execution including generation of ELF object files and static and dynamic linking. Code examples and exercises are included along with the best code practices.ampampnbspOptimization capabilities and limits of modern compilers are examined enabling you to balance between program readability and performance. The use of various performancegain techniques is demonstrated such as SSE instructions and prefetching.
