Assembly Language

Computers are instructed to do what they do by bit patterns. These bit patterns can be represented in different ways. As positions of a row of switches, as patterns of 0 and 1 characters, as decimal or hexadecimal figures of the values to which these bit patterns would compute or as strings from a catalog where the "meaning" of the...

VHDL (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) wird seit den 70er Jahren entwickelt und vor allem im ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Design eingesetzt. Zusätzlich wurden in diesem Fachbereich schon sehr bald Werkzeuge entwickelt, welche VHDL Code in eine sogenannte Gatter-Netzliste umwandeln können. Dieser Vorgang wird als Synthese bezeichnet. Mit dem Output kann eine vertiefte Simulation gefüttert und...

Semantics of Programming languages are a difficult thing, which in turn puts large companies with capital to spend at an advantage. Gone are the days when it was the navy vs. IBM vs. college and university chairholders. Until now it...

Programming language, mighty descendant of Algol. Dijkstra has this to say of PL/1 "Using PL/1 must be like flying a plane with 7, 000 buttons, switches and handles to manipulate in the cockpit. I absolutely fail to see how we can keep our growing programs firmly within our intellectual grip when by its sheer baroqueness the programming language - our basic tool...

developed by a team around Grace Murray Hopper, the first English-language data-processing compiler. In 1951 [12]:- ... she discovered the first computer "bug."1 It was a real moth, which she pasted into the UNIVAC I logbook. In 1952 she had an operational compiler2. "Nobody believed that," she said. "I had a running compiler and nobody would touch it. They told me computers...
