At my University, I really wished our assembly class was taught in x86_64. Unfortunately, we learn IBM System/360.
I'm not well versed enough in Assembly to know if learning one "flavor" of assembly would help me learn another "flavor" faster.
But I do know that I use a x86_64 machine myself. Perhaps, Knowing how to write assembly for that instruction seems like it would be more useful.
- nightcracker 12y agoThe important things you should learn in your computer architecture class is how assembly and other low-level details work in a pipelined register machine. The exact architecture doesn't really matter as the knowledge is easily transferable.
