Preface
The objective of this book is to introduce assembly language programming. Assembly lan-
guage is very closely linked to the underlying processor architecture and design. Popular
processor designs can be broadly divided into two categories: Complex Instruction Set Com-
puters (CISC) and Reduced Instruction Set Computers (RISC). The dominant processor in
the PC market, Pentium, belongs to the CISC category. However, the recent design trend is to
use the RISC designs. Some example RISC processors include the MIPS, SPARC, PowerPC,
and ARM. Even Intel’s 64-bit processor Itanium is a RISC processor. Thus, both types of
processors are important candidates for our study.
This book covers assembly language programming of both CISC and RISC processors.
We use the Intel Pentium processor as the representative of the CISC category. We have
selected the Pentium processor because of its market dominance. To explore RISC assembly
language, we selected the MIPS processor. The MIPS processor is appealing as it closely
adheres to the RISC principles. Furthermore, the availability of the SPIM simulator allows us
to use a Pentium-based PC to learn MIPS assembly language.
New in the Second Edition
The second edition has been substantially revised to reflect the changes that have taken place
since the publication of the first edition. The major changes are listed below:
• We introduced RISC assembly language programming so that the reader can benefit
from learning both CISC and RISC assembly languages. As mentioned before, Pentium
and MIPS processors are used to cover CISC and RISC processors.
