fasmcon 2007

HyperVista suggested the Fucking village in Austria to host the second fasmcon, but for some reasons Brno (Czech Rep.) won. We made pretty good progress since last fasmcon – more attenders came, more talks were given and we spent lot of time together having fun.

The conference was held at Hotel Slavia in Vlasta conference room on 25th of August. MazeGen organized it with the great help of HyperVista.

Attenders

Special host Tomasz Grysztar (Poland), author of fasm
Tom Tobias (USA) gave talk about Different theoretical design of CPU
Madis Kalme (Madis731, Estonia) talked first about Using SSE registers for general purpose, SIMD with general-purpose registers, then about Introduction to MenuetOS
Martin Mocko (vid, Slovakia) presented FASMLIB, a library written in fasm for assembly coders
František Gábriš (Feryno, Czech Rep./Slovakia) gave talk about Debugging in Long Mode (AMD64)
Don Bailey (HyperVista, USA) together with Martin presented x64 Windows Kernel Level Programming with fasm and C and also Remote Kernel Debug Demo with a basic hypervisor presented as an example. Don also created original fasmcon T-shirts for all attenders
