Ксакеп, что предлагается обсуждать в теме?

Oak, можно начать срач x86 vs ARM. Можно обсудить архитектуру российского процессора Эльбрус. Можно начать считалочку на количество костылей в x86 и обойти тему про огурцы (баны).

NaruTrey, x86 > ARM. Костыли костылями, энергопотребление потреблением, но да.

Ксакеп, зачем amazon хоть, лучше б ссылки дал где скачать, хотя найти и самому несложно

такс, надо почитать а потом обсудить книгу, я правильно понял?

x86 Disassembly

The act of program creation, using common compilers and assemblers, takes software from an information-rich source code format and transforms it into a difficult-to-read machine code format. The reverse process, trying to convert machine code into a human-readable format, is significantly more difficult and requires high-level intuition and pattern matching skills.

This book is going to discuss the disassembly and decompilation of x86 machine code and x86 assembly code.

Учебный план

Week 0: course introduction and overview, the roles of abstraction and implementation in systems design, the road ahead.

Week 1: Introduction to Boolean functions, gate logic, Hardware Description Language (HDL), and hardware simulation. Project: build a set of 15 elementary logic gates that will serve as the building blocks of subsequent chips.

Week 2: Binary numbers, binary addition, the two's complement methods, combinational logic. Project: build a family of adder chips leading up to an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU).

Week 3: Flip-flops, clocks, memory systems, sequential logic. Project: build a family of storage units from 1-bit registers to n-bit registers to Random Access Memories (RAM) of arbitrary sizes.

Week 4: Machine language, binary and symbolic instructions, input and output handling, using an assembler. Project: write some low-level assembly programs and run them on a supplied CPU emulator.

Week 5: Computer organization, the Von Neumann architecture, the fetch-execute cycle. Project: build the Hack CPU and computer system, using all the chips that were built in the previous projects.

Week 6: Assembly languages, assemblers, parsing, symbol tables, code generation, the translation process. Project: build an assembler that translates Hack symbolic programs into Hack executable (binary) code.

Ксакеп, звучит интересно!
