High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Open Watcom Assembler or WASM is an x86 assembler produced by Watcom and included as part of the Watcom C/C++ compiler. Further development is being done on the JWASM project, which more closely matches the syntax of Microsoft's assembler. x86 assembly language is the family of backwards-compatible assembly languages for the x86 class of processors, which includes Intel's Core series and AMD's Phenom and Phenom II series. Like all assembly languages, it uses short mnemonics to represent the fundamental operations that the CPU in a computer can perform. Compilers sometimes produce assembly code as an intermediate step when translating a high level program into machine code. Regarded as a programming language, assembly coding is machine specific and low level. Although sometimes used to write windowing application software, assembly languages are more typically used for detailed and/or time critical applications such as small real time embedded systems or operating system kernels and device drivers.
