The materials on this site are made available through MIT’s OpenCourseWare Project. Students are introduced to the “principles of computation” through lecture notes, readings (available in an online textbook), problem...

Presented in this series of six articles we will contentrate on high-level programming languages, specifically the C language. High-level languages were once shunned as too inefficient for embedded microcontrollers, but...

It is useful to understand how a high-level language program is translated into instructions. First, since implementing an embedded computing system often requires controlling the instruction sequences used to handle...

Two important aspects of the code compilation phase in embedded program development are register allocation and schedule. Given a block of code, we want to choose assignments of variables (both declared and temporary)...

The Code Project is an online repository of free tutorials, source code, and articles about a wide variety of programming languages. Sections devoted to C++, HTML, DirectX, and .NET are among the resources available on...
