PentiumT Processor: Optimization Tools

by Michael L. Schmit

Overview

Pentium Processor Optimization Tools covers advanced program optimization techniques for the Intel 80x86 family of chips, including the Pentium. The book starts by providing a review and history of the optimization tool. The text then discusses the 80x86 programming language; Pentium and its tools; and the superscalar Pentium programming. The operation of the floating-point unit; techniques for including assembly language routines in C or C++ programs; and the protected-mode programming are also considered. The book further tackles optimizations and code alignment; as well as the background and technical capabilities of the PowerPC vs. the Pentium and their future technical directions. Computer programmers and students taking related courses will find the book invaluable.
