| | Assembler - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch |
 | | An assembler is a computer program for translating assembly language — essentially, a mnemonic representation of machine language — into object code. | | | Modern assemblers, especially for RISC based architectures, such as MIPS, Sun SPARC and HP PA-RISC, optimize instruction scheduling to exploit the CPU pipeline efficiently. | | | Worse, the size and field order of structs, as well as the size of certain typedefs such as off_t, are entirely unavailable in assembler language, and /do/ differ even between versions of Linux, making it impossible to portably call functions in libc other than ones that only take simple integers/pointers as parameters. |

| | Molecular assembler: Just the facts... |
| | A molecular assembler is a molecular machine (additional info and facts about molecular machine) capable of assembling other molecules given instructions, energy, and a supply of smaller "building block" molecules to work from. | | | There are two entwined controversies surrounding the creation of artificial or synthetic molecular assemblers. | | | The study is led by mechanical engineering (The branch of engineering that deals with the design and construction and operation of machinery) professor Ann Dowling. |
