I work with video codecs now, but anything computationally intensive and/or close to the hardware will benefit from some assembly code. The three that you mentioned are good examples. The web browser you're using to view and respond to this thread is another example. Among other things, the JavaScript engine most likely does dynamic recompilation and it may use sandboxed webviews.
- bogomipz 10y agoCould you elaborate on how assembly is used in sandboxed webviews?
- kitsuac 10y agoI'm not sure to what extent exactly, but iirc they instrument APIs and pass them through IPC. It may not really be the best example, for some reason it popped into my head but maybe it was an incorrect assumption.
