  • amule
  • ardour
  • avidemux
  • blender

  • busybox
  • chicken
  • cln
  • coq
  • cxxtools
  • faad2
  • fawkes
  • filezilla
  • gauche
  • gmime
  • gnash
  • gridengine
  • groonga
  • hoard
  • iaxclient
  • k9copy
  • lame
  • libfame
  • libgcroots
  • libmad
  • libmlx4
  • lightsparc
  • mediatomb
  • mjpegtools
  • mlt
  • mosh

  • ocaml-zarith
  • openblas
  • opencore-amr
  • openser
  • par2cmdline
  • picprog
  • qlandkartegt
  • sooperlooper
  • traverso


2. Find the assembler in that software, and determine:

  • How much assembley-language code is present
  • Which platform(s) it is used on
  • Why it is there (what it does)
  • What happens on other platforms
  • Your opinion of the value of the assembler code VS the loss of portability/increase in complexity of the code.


3. Blog your results in detail.
