Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The main goal of this course is to introduce usage of computer technical resources in assembly language. Students will be able to eliminate the shortcomings of higher programming language code after completing the course. Students will also be able to combine modules from multiple programming languages ​​into one program.

Summary

Students will learn in this course the assembly programming under Linux OS on x86 hardware. They will be familiar with technical capabilities of a processor and the using ALU, FPU and SSE units. They will learn some programming techniques which are not possible in high-level programming languages.
