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 ...

The first step is for the code to be converted into a low-level language, often machine language or bytecode, which is a sequence of binary instructions that the computer's central processing unit ...

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 ...

In the beginning, computer programmers translated their desires into the language of machines. Now, those machines are becoming conversant in the language of their programmers. OpenAI's newly released ...

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 ...

The working replica of the Heath Robinson code-breaking machine that was used to read secret top-level Nazi messages during the Second World War was unveiled by wartime Wren Irene Dixon.

IBM is making its prototype quantum computer available over the cloud, so it can be used to start testing quantum code, though the limited number of qubits means that it’s still too slow for ...

Mathematician Grace Hopper, who earned a PhD at Yale and later became a US Navy rear admiral, pioneered compilers and helped ...

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 ...
