11.15 For More Information

The electronic edition of The Art of Assembly Language on the accompanying CD-ROM contains some additional information you may find useful when developing bit manipulation algorithms. In particular, the chapter on digital design discusses boolean algebra, a subject that you will find essential when working with bits. The chapter in this text on the MMX instruction set also contains additional information you may find useful when manipulating bits. The HLA Standard Library Reference Manual contains more information about the HLA Standard Library bit manipulation routines. See that documentation on the accompanying CD-ROM for more information about those functions. As noted in the section on bit counting, the AMD Athlon optimization guide contains some useful algorithms for bit-based computations. Finally, to learn more about bit searching algorithms, you should pick up a textbook on Data Structures and Algorithms and study the section on "string matching algorithms."
