The Intel Microprocessors, Pearson International Edition, 8th Edition

Description

Knowledge of Intel microprocessors, found in most computer systems and in many areas of electronic communications and control systems, is essential for a career in electronics, computer science, or any field that relies on computer systems. Now in its eighth edition, The Intel Microprocessors provides updated comprehensive coverage of the latest developments in the field of microprocessors. This new edition is a powerful reference and instructional tool to:

* Explain how to Program the Pentium Core 2 and its new 64-bit Architecture
* Illustrate concepts for students with 200 relevant programming examples, many written in Visual C++ with embedded assembly language code
* Develop software to control application interfaces to the microprocessor
* Program the microprocessor using the popular Microsoft Visual C programming environment with embedded assembly language to control personal computers
* Develop software to control the keyboard, video display, and various other components in the computer system
* Program the numeric coprocessor, the MMX, and SSE units to solve complex equations
* Explain the differences between family members and highlight the features of each member
* Describe the use of real mode (DOS) and protected mode (Windows) of the microprocessor
* Explain the operation of the memory manager to control the protected mode and paging unit to allocate memory
* Interface memory and I/O systems to the microprocessor
* Develop software to drive hardware interfaces and applications
* Explain the operation of a real-time operating system (RTOS) in an embedded environment
* Explain the operation of the disk and video systems
* Interface small systems to the ISA, PCI, parallel and serial ports, and USB of a personal computer system
* Detail the 64-bit extension (EMT-64) of the Pentium 4 microprocessor
