Lecture Notes

• Administivia
• Lecture 1: Introduction to Computer Systems
• Lecture 2: Bits and Bytes
• Lecture 3: Integers
• Lecture 4: Floating Point
• Lecture 5: Machine-Level Programming I: An Introduction
• Lecture 6: Machine-Level Programming II: Control Flow
• Lecture 7: Machine-Level Programming III: Procedures
• Lecture 8: Machine-Level Programming IV: Structured Data
• Lecture 9: Machine-Level Programming V: Wrap-up
• Lecture Notes on Intel Architecture
• Supplementary Reading Material from Intel:
• Basic Execution Environment
• Procedure Calls, Interrupts, and Exceptions
• Data Types and Addressing Modes
• Instruction Set Summary
• Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual Volume 1: Basic Architecture -- Most of the relevant information for this class is in the four preceding documents.
• Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual Volume 2: Instruction Set Reference -- I do not think you will need this document. The above Instruction Set Summary document should be sufficient.
• Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual Volume 3: Systems Programming -- Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 are very usefull (especially Chapter 2). I would ignore the other chapters of this 658 page document for now.
