It turns out that using the div operator to compute the modulo operation is slow!
We can use a math trick to optimize the modulo operator (%). Compilers use this trick a lot.
If we have "x % y", and y is a power of 2, such as 2^n, the result will be the lower n bits of x.
Therefore, we can use the lower register byte access to efficiently implement modulo!
Using only the following instruction(s):
mov
Please compute the following:
rax = rdi %256
rbx = rsi %65536
We will now set the following in preparation for your code:
rdi =0xe572
rsi =0xe4a54e4a
Please give me your assembly in bytes (up to 0x1000 bytes):
