Written for high-level language programmers, \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding the Machine \u003c\/i\u003efills in the low-level details of machine organization that are often left out of computer science and engineering courses. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLearn: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eHow the machine represents numbers, strings, and high-level data structures, so you'll know the inherent cost of using them.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHow to organize your data, so the machine can access it efficiently.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHow the CPU operates, so you can write code that works the way the machine does.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHow I\/O devices operate, so you can maximize your application's performance when accessing those devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHow to best use the memory hierarchy to produce the fastest possible programs.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreat code is efficient code. But before you can write truly efficient code, you must understand how computer systems execute programs and how abstractions in programming languages map to the machine's low-level hardware. After all, compilers don't write the best machine code; programmers do. This book gives you the foundation upon which all great software is built. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNEW IN THIS EDITION, COVERAGE OF: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eProgramming languages like Swift and Java\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCode generation on modern 64-bit CPUs\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eARM processors on mobile phones and tablets\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eNewer peripheral devices\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLarger memory systems and large-scale SSDs\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16602850\"\u003eRandall Hyde\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e No Starch Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 7.00w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781718500365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 171850036X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-COM\"\u003eComputers\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-COM051000\"\u003eProgramming | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-COM\"\u003eComputers\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-COM011000\"\u003eComputer Architecture\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-COM\"\u003eComputers\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-COM051240\"\u003eSoftware Development \u0026amp; Engineering | Systems Analysis \u0026amp; Desi\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRandall Hyde\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Assembly Language\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the most highly recommended resources on assembly, and the three volume \u003ci\u003eWrite Great Code \u003c\/i\u003eseries (all No Starch Press).
