The ability of DNA to store and encode information arises from base pairing of the four-letter nucleobase code to form a double helix. Expanding this DNA ‘alphabet’ by synthetic incorporation ...

It’s a tool that could make taking the leap into assembly code just that little bit easier. For another taste of bare metal coding, check out [Ben Jojo]’s discussion of x86 bootloaders.

The innovation of AlphaDev is that it improves how the structure of a working assembly program is represented in the AI code. That allows its reward system to better narrow down the possibilities.

Getting Optimal Code Everyone knows that the best way to get fast, tight code for an embedded application is to employ the skills of an expert assembly language programmer. Of course, the programmer ...

Assembly was also in the news recently when the "Original Apollo 11 Guidance Computer (AGC) source code for the command and lunar modules" -- written in assembly -- was posted to GitHub. While ...
