    Vx promises one programming language for every chip●Vx – One Language, Every ChipYhnTechnologySemiconductors7858 min ago

    A new project called Vx is promoting itself as a single programming language that can target every chip architecture, under the slogan 'one language, every chip'. Details remain thin beyond the project's website, but the claim has drawn attention among developers interested in portability across the increasingly diverse landscape of processors, from x86 and ARM to RISC-V and accelerators.

    Google says most Android apps run fine on x86 Chromebooks●Google: Android-Apps laufen auf x86-Googlebooks zum Großteil einwandfrei Google gibt Details zur App-Kompatibilität derMmastodonTechnologyMobile420 h ago

    Google has published details on app compatibility for its new x86-based Googlebooks, saying the vast majority of Android apps run without problems thanks to a binary translation layer for x86 devices. The announcement addresses a key concern for buyers wondering whether their favourite mobile apps will work on the new hardware.

    Some Android Apps May Not Work on Intel-Powered PCs▼Don't Expect Every New Googlebook App to Play Nice With Intel Chips https://gizmodo.com/googlebooks-android-app-compatibMmastodonTechnology32 d ago

    A report flags that Google's new requirements for Android apps could mean not every app will run properly on Intel-based devices. As Google pushes apps to adopt newer 64-bit and architecture-specific standards, compatibility with x86 chips on laptops and tablets is in question. Developers may need to do extra work to keep apps usable on Intel hardware.

    Retro 3D renderer needed tight assembly to run on a 386●[2/2] using affine texture mapping alone wasn't enough to hit acceptable framerates on a 386. the person who wrote the oMmastodonTechnologySoftware121 d ago

    A developer writing about retro PC graphics says affine texture mapping alone was not enough to reach acceptable framerates on an Intel 386. The original affine renderer had to be written in very tight x86 assembly because it ran thousands of times per second just to render a single frame, highlighting how limited early 90s hardware was for 3D games.

    How AMD's DEC engineers shaped every 64-bit x86 CPU●Every 64-bit x86 instruction your CPU runs today traces back to a decision Intel lost, and a chip team that came from aMmastodonTechnologySoftware32 d ago

    The x86-64 instruction set that modern Intel and AMD processors run traces back to AMD's Athlon (K7) and K8 generations, built by chip engineers hired from DEC and Sun after Intel lost a key decision on 64-bit computing. Tech commentators are recounting this history, noting that DEC no longer exists but its talent ended up defining today's mainstream computing architecture.

    Programmer asks for project ideas to learn x86 assembly●Once I learn a little more # asm , (I'm learning x86_64 because there is a wealth of resources, but I'm open to somethinMmastodonTechnologySoftware55 d ago

    A software developer says they are learning x86_64 assembly, citing its wealth of learning resources, and is asking for creative coding projects to cement the skill. Suggestions under consideration include demos, miniature games such as Game Boy titles, or writing a small programming language compiler. The question has drawn modest engagement from other programmers weighing in with project ideas.
