Further Reading

A MARIE assembly simulator is available on this textbook's home page. This simulator assembles and executes your MARIE programs.

For more detailed information on CPU organization and ISAs, you are referred to the Tanenbaum (1999) and Stallings (2000) books. Mano (1991) contains instructional examples of microprogrammed architectures. Wilkes (1958) is an excellent reference on microprogramming.

For more information regarding Intel assembly language programming, check out the Abel (2001), Dandamudi (1998), and Jones (1997) books. The Jones book takes a straightforward and simple approach to assembly language programming, and all three books are quite thorough. If you are interested in other assembly languages, you might refer to Struble (1975) for IBM assembly, Gill, Corwin, and Logar (1987) for Motorola, and Sun Microsystems (1992) for SPARC. For a gentle introduction to embedded systems, try Williams (2000).

If you are interested in MIPS programming, Patterson and Hennessy (1997) give a very good presentation and their book has a separate appendix with useful information. Donovan (1972) also has good coverage of the MIPS environment. Kane and Heinrich (1992) is the definitive text on the MIPS instruction set and assembly language programming on MIPS machines. The MIPS home page also has a wealth of information.

To read more about Intel architectures, please refer to Alpert and Avnon (1993), Brey (2003), and Dulon (1998). Perhaps one of the best books on the subject of the Pentium architecture is Shanley (1998). Motorola, UltraSparc, and Alpha architectures are discussed in Circello (1995), Horel and Lauterbach (1999), and McLellan (1995), respectively. For a more general introduction to advanced architectures, see Tabak (1991).

If you wish to learn more about the SPIM simulator for MIPS, see Patterson and Hennessy (1997) or the SPIM home page, which has documentation, manuals, and various other downloads. Waldron (1999) is an excellent introduction to RISC assembly language programming and MIPS as well.
