Question

Can assembly language play a significant role in programming for supercomputers? Give your opinion in favor or against with strong arguments.

Answer 1

I don’t know about “strong arguments”, but no one is going to be programming “super computers” today with assembly code.I’d say that it doesn’t. C/C++ code, compiled with high level of optimization, won’t be significantly less efficient than very well written Assembly; it’ll be likely more efficient than average Assembly code.
