Interesting Snippets from 2012-08-07

• Easy x86-64 by IanSeyler

  There has been much interest in assembly lately (whether the real 6502, or the fictional DCPU–16; I even created my own virtual 8-bit CPU called i808 in 2007), but none of this attention focuses on the architecture that is most popular in today’s computers. If you are reading this on a desktop, laptop, or server then your computer is most likely using x86–64 (or x86). x86–64 is the 64-bit superset of the 32-bit x86 architecture and any modern CPU from AMD or Intel supports it. This document will focus on the most used parts of x86–64.
