Assembly language for PC (Off topic)

[Josué Forte]

Geschrieben von: / Posted by: Josué Forte at 21 February 2003 22:03:57:

Hi all,
I would like to learn the basics of assembly language for PC in order to write some pieces of code for Matheus. Can someone help me on this?
1) Where can I find some papers on this subject on the internet.
2) Intel and AMD processors are the most common chips on PCs. Are the mnemonic operation codes different for these two processors? Do they have special instructions?
3) Where can I get a complete list of mnemonic operation codes for Intel and AMD processors, with an explanation for each of them?
4) Where can I get a paper that shows, for each mnemonic operation , how many clock cicles an instruction takes to be performed?
If someone can send me a real piece of chess assembly code, with comments, I will be gratefull.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Josué

Hi Josué,
Here's a start:
Intel Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/pentium/MAN ... 319101.PDF
If you have no background in assembly language you may be better served by buying an assembly language book.

Hi Filip,
Thanks for the "Art of Assembly" link.
Here is a very good page for accessing Intel's on-line x86 documentation:
http://www.x86.org/intel.doc/inteldocs.htm
In fact, the entire x86.org site is very helpful and informative.

Hi Ron,
That is a good start!
Yes, an assembly book would be better for me, but a could not find one
with the explanations I need. But I will keep trying to find one.
Thanks for the Intel link!

Josué.
