  • Assembler Boot Camp "Plus": Useful Basic Instructions (137.6 kB)

    • The five Assembler Boot Camp lectures introduce an important basic subset of the many machine instructions provided by z/Architecture processors.  In this session we will examine other simple, powerful, and very useful instructions to help you get started with writing Assembler Language Applications. The examples include:

    * Storage-register instructions with various operand lengths

    * Types of bit shifting for 32- and 64-bit registers, and why they're important

    * Immediate operands, and how using them can make your programs (much) more efficient

    * Long displacements that let you address vast amounts of storage with a single base register

    * ... and many other useful instructions.

    Tracks: Software Architecture, z/OS Systems Programming, z/VM Systems Programming and zNextGen
