SPARC Architecture, Assembly Language Programming, and C

• Includes the latest material on the new ULTRA SPARC
  architecture.
  
• Examines the complexity and cost of using various data
  and control structures in high-level languages.
  
• Frequent references to C and C++ language constructs
  and their translation into SPARC assembly language.
  
• Offers optional material on floating point, traps, memory
  management, and other architectures.
  
• A Companion Website—Supplements the text with updates
  and code examples at: www.prenhall.com/paul.

Teaches how to evaluate compilers, data structures, and control
structures in order to write efficient programs in a high-level
language.
