Question #2

QUESTION:

Research in the net usual applications done in assembly language. Describe these applications briefly and cite the efficiency and effectiveness of these applications.



:ANSWER:


A large number of programs have been entirely written in Assembly Language, operating were almost exclusively written in assembly language until the widespread in acceptance of C during 1970's and early 1980's.

Typical examples of large Assembly Language Programs from this time are:

* MS-DOS-(short for Microsoft Disk Operating System) is an operating system commercialized by Microsoft. It was the most commonly used member of the DOS family of operating systems and was the main operating system for computers during the 1980s. It was based on the Intel 1860 family of microprocessors, particularly the IBM PC and compatibles.

* Spreadsheet-is a computer application that simulates paper worksheet.It displays multiple cells that together make up a grid consisting of rows and columns, each cell containing either alphanumeric text or numeric values.

*Atari 800-is a series of 8-bit home computer manufactured from 1979 to 1992. All are based on the MOS Technology 6502 CPU and were the first home computers designed with custom coprocessor chips, giving them "the most powerful graphic subsystem" of any 8 bit machine.

*Sega Turn- is a 32-bit video game console that was first released on November 22,1994 in Japan, MAy 11, 1995, North America and July 8, 1995 in Europe.According to some industry insiders, the assembly language was the best computer language to use to get the best performance out the SEGA TURN.

-Most microcomputers relied on hand-coded Assembly language including most operating system and large applications. The biggest reasons why there prefer to use the assembly language were size, speed and reliability. Assembly language can hold Bugs.
