Building a retro computer of some sort is a rite of passage for many of us, with some building replicas or restorations of old Commodores, Ataris, and other machines from decades past. Others go ...

You might have heard the terms "assembly language" and "machine code" but what do they mean? Let's find out.

A Science of Operations examines the history of what we now call programming, defined not simply as computer programming, but more broadly as the definition of the steps involved in computations and ...

Virtually all compilers — programs that transform human-readable source code into computer-executable machine code — are vulnerable to an insidious attack in which an adversary can introduce ...

Machine-learning algorithms can behave unpredictably, and code generated by a machine might harbor harmful bugs unless it is scrutinized carefully.

The compiler takes the source code you’ve written, in a language such as C, and translates it into an executable program: a file consisting of machine code that the computer understands.

Intel unveils ControlFlag, a machine programming research system that can autonomously detect errors in software code.

Machine learning is an area of artificial intelligence (AI) with a concept that a computer program can learn and adapt to new data without human intervention. A complex algorithm or source code is ...
