ASM & C++ Sobel operator

Abstract

This program is a student project for assembly classes at my university. It is a GUI program that calculates edges using the Sobel operator.

Objective

The objective of the project was to write a multithread program in C++ or C# and 2 DLLs: one in C++ or C and the second in assembly with usage of vector instructions. My Topic was the edge detection using the Sobel operator. The goal is to learn assembly and to show that assembly CAN be faster than C++ or other programming languages.

How to use this

The program is designed to run only in x64. The program has an user interface. The program default langiage is english, but you can it change by using the menu bar. First you have to open a picture by using the manu bar(only .bmp 24bpp working now). Then choose the dll you want to use and the number of threads(max 64). Next click start and wait for the result 😁. You can then save the created pictrue.
