It is also essential for cutting-edge algorithms that require high performance while using constrained resources. Assembler is a base for all other programming languages and hardware platforms, and so is needed when developing new hardware, compilers and tools. It is crucial, in particular, in the context of the announced switch from chip manufacturing in Asia towards EU-based technologies. |
