Hi John,

Here is a good starting point

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-ppc/?t=gr,lnxw09=PowPC

Here is an IBM PDF file (600+ page book) on PowerPC assembly lang

http://www-3.ibm.com/chips/techlib/techlib.nsf/techdocs/852569B20050FF778525699600719DF2

Here is an IBM PDF compiler writers guide on PPC asm tuning etc.

http://www-3.ibm.com/chips/techlib/techlib.nsf/techdocs/852569B20050FF7785256996007558C6

Here is a good starting point for Linux based asm (mostly x86)
http://linuxassembly.org/

	The most useful thing I can recomend is using these books/guides as a
reference and compiling c source code with the GCC flag  --save-temps to
generate assembly source from c code. This not only gives you a good
idea of what the assembly code is doing, but lets you analyze and refine
your C coding technique and practices to generate the best code.

Good Luck

Conn
