Reference Links
Moodle Final Exams ScheduleHere's a link to our Intel Assembly Language textbook homepage. On it you can find student materials, source code, and sample chapters from the text, debugging tools, and Intel IA-32 architecture reference material.
Our Write Great Code textbook homepage has source code, and corrections to the text text. Note you can also purchase a digital PDF version of Write Great Code.
Randall Hyde's Assembly language website has numerous assembly programming resources including an online multiple versions of his text the Art of Assembly Language. While we aren't using the AoA text directly, there is a fair bit of overlap between it & his WGC text; it might be handy if you don't have access to your texts.
If you want to install Visual Studio using a MSDNAA .iso file, you can use win xp virtual cd control panel to install directly from the .iso without burning it to optical media. Remeber, anything we can do in hardware, we can also do in software. If for some reason the link is down, you can probably find it with a quick web search.
Here are a couple of architecture oriented links regarding the cell processor:
Sample Code

midrange - procedure to find the midrange of an array
StackFrameDemo - shows a proceedure that adds two numbers passed to it on the stack & also returns the answer on the stack
