[xcom_cheetah]

Can anybody recommend any good book or articles for optimising the code in assembly language for the above mentioned processors...
Thanks
ps. will the optimising for above mentioned processor do any good to P4

You forgot about the Celeron....

And what you want is Optimization code for the P6 core.....
And to answer your question about the P4, no, Optimizing code for the P6 core (Pentium Pro, PII, PIII, Celeron) will not do much for a P4 as the P4 is not based on the P6 architecture, instead it is a totaly new design......I would imagine however that optimizing the code for a P6 core processor would alos make that program run betetr on a P4 aswell just not as well as it would on the P6 core, as the P4 has some similarities to the P6 core, and it should even work better on an Athlon aswell, it just won't be as good on either the P4 or AMD Platform as cmpared to a P6 core based processor platform......

AND as for a link...Well I can't find a direct Link to a site or anythign liek that that ive you to code, but I found a site with a bunch of applications and such which I'm sure you can make use of, Just click <b><A HREF="http://www.programmersheaven.com/zone5/cat25/" target="_new"> HERE </b></A>.

Please Take note of the bottom of the webpage......has a few thigns there about Assembler's, etc.

Good Luck.....

Intel has some very good "software developers manuals" on the web. They cover many topics and are in pdf-format (good for your eyes).

As for "real" books, I don't know.
