| | <b>Assemblyb> language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | <b>Assemblyb> language, commonly called <b>assemblyb>, asm or symbolic machine code, is a human-readable notation for the machine language that a specific computer architecture uses. | | | Another common area of <b>assemblyb> language use is in the system BIOS of a computer. | | | <b>Assemblyb> language is also valuable in reverse engineering, since many programs are distributed only in machine code form, and machine code is usually easy to translate into <b>assemblyb> language and carefully examine in this form, but very difficult to translate into a higher-level language. |

| | <b>Assemblyb> Language |
| | <b>Assemblyb> languages are still machine specific and hence the program will have to be re-written if it is to be implemented on another type of computer. | | | <b>Assemblyb> languages still require that the programmer should have a good knowledge of the internal structure of the computer. | | | <b>Assemblyb> languages are still used in some time-critical programs since they give the programmer very precise control of what exactly happens inside the computer. |

| | What is <b>assemblyb> language? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary |
| | <b>Assemblyb> languages have the same structure and set of commands as machine languages, but they enable a programmer to use names instead of numbers. | | | Programmers still use <b>assemblyb> language when speed is essential or when they need to perform an operation that isn't possible in a high-level language. | | | Each type of CPU has its own machine language and <b>assemblyb> language, so an <b>assemblyb> language program written for one type of CPU won't run on another. |

| | ONLamp.com -- Why Learning <b>Assemblyb> Language Is Still a Good Idea |
| | No, the real reason <b>assemblyb> language programs tend to be more efficient than programs written in other languages is because <b>assemblyb> language forces the programmer to consider how the underlying hardware operates with each machine instruction they write. | | | However, the reason such software is efficient isn't because the implementation language imparts some magical efficiency properties to that software -- it's perfectly possible to write inefficient software in <b>assemblyb> language. | | | So even if the programmer never actually writes applications in <b>assemblyb> language, the knowledge makes the programmer aware of the problems with certain inefficient sequences so they can avoid them in their high-level code. |

| | Art of <b>Assemblyb> Language:Forward |
| | <b>Assemblyb> language programs are often less than one-half the size of comparable HLL programs. | | | While certain programs may not benefit much from implementation in <b>assemblyb>, you can speed up many programs by a factor of five or ten over their HLL counterparts by careful coding in <b>assemblyb> language; even greater improvement is possible if you're not using an optimizing compiler. | | | <b>Assemblyb> language programmers, on the other hand, have been known to rewrite an integer output routine every time they need one. |

| | Introduction to <b>Assemblyb> Language |
| | Programs written in high level languages (especially object oriented programming languages) are much easier and less expensive to maintain than similar programs written in <b>assemblyb> language (and for a successful software project, the vast majority of the work and expense is in maintenance, not initial development). | | | <b>Assemblyb> language is much harder to program than high level languages. | | | In contrast to high level languages, data structures and program structures in <b>assemblyb> language are created by directly implementing them on the underlying hardware. |

| | X86 <b>assemblyb> language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | x86 <b>assemblyb> language is the <b>assemblyb> language for the x86 class of processors, which includes Intel's Pentium series and AMD's Athlon series. | | | Most modern x86 processors translate their instructions to one or more RISC-like "micro-ops" before they execute them, allowing the substeps of complex instructions to be executed in parallel in a superscalar fashion, rather than just being able to execute instructions in parallel as the original Pentium could do. | | | The x86 processor and instruction set design is CISC; however, in the latter half of the 1990s the internal architecture moved towards being more of a RISC or VLIW design. |

| | Jeff Duntemann's <b>Assemblyb> Language Books and Links |
| | Macros are a mechanism allowing code re-use in <b>assemblyb> work, and they foster a philosophy of "define once, use everywhere" that gives you the programmer another defense against both duplication of effort and the bugs that come of writing the same sequence of <b>assemblyb> instructions over and over again, which is dumb. | | | In <b>assemblyb> language, if you know where your operands are, you're three quarters of the way to anywhere else you might want to be. | | | This is a radically different approach from most "intro" <b>assemblyb> books, which begin by teaching you the MOV instruction, and then perhaps the ADD instruction, with little or no discussion of the context in which <b>assemblyb> language operates. |
