IA32 Processors 15 213 Totally Dominate Computer Market The course that gives CMU its Zip Machine Level Programming I Introduction Sept 09 2006 Topics Evolutionary Design Starting in 1978 with 8086 Added more features as time goes on Still support old features although obsolete Complex Instruction Set Computer CISC Assembly Programmer s Execution Model Many different instructions with many different formats Hard to match performance of Reduced Instruction Set Computers RISC But Intel has done just that z But only small subset encountered with Linux programs Accessing Information z
