For a programming language such as C++, a program called a compiler takes source code and converts it into a set of ‘assembly’ instructions that are, in turn, translated into machine-level code.

In assembly language “put 1 in register 0” is written like this: “movs r0, #1”. So when the assembler see a “movs” operation it can generate the right machine code, depending on the ...

We all probably know that for ultimate control and maximum performance, you need assembly language. No matter how good your compiler is, you’ll almost always be able to do better by using you… ...

Hi Max, I appreciate how your assembler/C discussion proceeded without a “language war”. I use only assembler in my projects, but would enjoy a better “notation” for assembler. I wonder why the ...

If you're thinking of programming your DSP in a high-level language instead of assembler, that high-level language will almost certainly be a C-type language. It's unlikely to be standard C, however, ...

The technical computing language Julia lands in the top 50 for the first time, while Go, Kotlin, and assembly post surprise gains Julia, a high-level dynamic language for technical programming, is ...

That’s the promise of WebAssembly. WebAssembly is a low-level, assembly-like language with a compact binary format that runs with near-native performance in web browsers.

"Today assembly language is still used for direct hardware manipulation, access to specialized processor instructions, or to address critical performance issues. Typical uses are device drivers, ...

New tools targeted at assembly language programmers, such as HLA, RadASM (an integrated development environment) and OllyDbg (a machine language debugger), are slowly providing the advanced ...
