When used as a singular noun, an application file or program file describes a file which stores the code to run a program. This type of file is commonly referred to as an executable file. When referring to more than one file, program files are all of the different files that allow a software program to run on your computer. Most programs have different types of files (e.g., DLL files, data files, etc.) used in conjunction with the executable file. Related program files pages. 2. Program Files is a folder first found in Microsoft Windows 95 and included in all later versions of Microsoft Windows that stores the software programs installed on the computer. How to open Program Files folder. By default, the Program Files folder is found on the root directory of the primary hard drive, with the C:\Program Files path. To open this folder on your computer, follow the steps below. Open File Explorer. Select This PC or Computer . Open the C: drive . Open the Program Files or Program Files (x86) folder. What programs should be in the Program Files folder? The Program Files folder and Program Files (x86) folders should contain the folders of the software programs that are installed on the computer. Can I delete Program Files or Program Files (x86)? No. While it may be possible to delete these folders they are both part of Windows and default locations where Windows installs your program files. If you delete either of these folders, all installed programs contained in the folder are also deleted. If you want to delete these folders to recover hard drive space, we suggest uninstalling programs and not deleting these folders. For help with uninstalling programs, see: How to uninstall software in Windows. What is the progra. With early versions of MS-DOS and Windows that only supported the 8.3 file naming format, the "Program Files" directory was too long. For backward compatibility, the "Programs Files" directory would appear as "progra. 1" (a maximum of eight characters). Today, because all operating systems support long files this directory name is rarely seen. Program Files translations. If you're using a version of Windows that isn't English, this directory may be translated into a different name, as shown in the examples below. AutoIt Downloads.

Why do I have two Program Files folders? Since 2005, Microsoft has offered both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of its Windows operating system. If you're running a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows, there are two separate folders where your Program Files are kept: Program Files , which contains 64-bit programs and applications, and Program Files (x86) , which contains 32-bit programs and applications. So what's the difference? 64-bit applications are compiled specifically for use on a 64-bit computer. They make use of system features specific to a 64-bit architecture, and they access 64-bit versions of the Windows software libraries. 32-bit applications are legacy applications or modern programs compiled for 32-bit processing. 64-bit versions of Windows can still run these programs, though, using a compatibility layer called WOW64 (which stands for W indows32 o n W indows 64 ). Is it bad to run a 32-bit program on 64-bit Windows? Not at all. The WOW64 layer does a good job of emulating a 32-bit environment, and any performance loss is generally not noticeable. The emulated programs may actually have an advantage, because WOW64 can allocate the maximum amount of RAM (4 GB) to the application. On a real 32-bit system, some of that RAM would be allocated to the operating system kernel and other running programs. So, why are 64-bit and 32-bit programs kept in separate folders? Convenience: it's an easy way to tell them apart. It reduces the chances of a conflict if, for example, you install both a 32-bit and 64-bit version of the same program on one system. It increases the chance that older programs work properly, reducing the chance that they will interact with 64-bit software accidentally. Why is the 32-bit folder called "(x86)"? x86 is another way to refer to 32-bit processors. Originally, 16-bit processors — specifically, the 8086 and 8088 processor architectures — were referred to as "x86". This name was later extended to include the 32-bit 80386 and 80486 processor family. When 64-bit processors were introduced, they were referred to as x64 to distinguish them from the older processor lines. If I manually move programs from one folder to the other, will they still work? In theory, there's no reason why a 32-bit program won't work if you manually install it to your Program Files folder, and vice versa — 64-bit programs should work fine if you install them to the Program Files (x86) folder. It's a better idea to leave them right where Windows wants them, however. If you're having trouble locating a program in the Program Files folder, try looking in the Program Files (x86) folder as well. Download program files x86. If you’re using a Microsoft Windows operating system, then most likely you’ve come across the program files and program files (x86) folders on your hard drive. While they both seem to serve the same purpose, there is a slight difference, and that creates the question ‘Why?’ Definitions. A software identified as 32-bit, and so Program Files (x86) was automated to be its default directory for installation. Program Files. The ‘Program Files’ is the default name of a folder in a Microsoft Windows operating system. It is where applications that aren’t part of the system files (operating system applications and drivers) are usually installed. Most of the applications installed under the ‘Program Files’ automatically create a subdirectory (subfolder) for its application-specific resources. An accurate example would be ‘C:\Program Files\Adobe\’, the folder ‘Adobe’ here, is the said subdirectory created. In a standard form of installation in Windows, the directory is typically at %SystemDrive%\Program Files . The %SystemDrive% will reflect on which drive your operating system was installed, on (C:\, D:\, or E:\). Either you are using a 32-bit or a 64-bit Windows operating system, but the default name always will be ‘Program Files’. However, if you are using the 64-bit version, there’s an additional folder named ‘Program Files (x86), and this can be confusing. It is somewhat similar to your ‘Program Files’, but it contains installed applications with a different instruction set, the 32-bit. Program Files x86. As with the ‘Program Files’, the ‘Program Files (x86) is the default name of a folder in a Microsoft Windows operating system, where applications are usually installed. Only with ‘Program Files (x86)’, the folder name is only created when running on a 64-bit operating system. This means it does not, or should not exist when running a 32-bit operating system. This is because the ‘Program Files (x86)’ was created to simply provide you the location of your 32-bit software on your 64-bit operating system. One other folder, the ‘Program Files’ also exists, although it serves a different purpose, and that’s providing a location for your 64-bit software. To simplify, the ‘Program Files (x86) only exists on a 64-bit Windows operating system to separate the different architecture types of your installed applications. Now here’s what you should know: while most Windows users think that the ‘Program Files (x86)’ exists to easily identify which ones are 32-bit and 64-bit applications, it exists for a much bigger reason. With the way Windows manages their Dynamic Linked Libraries (the popular error- popping *DLL files), the separate ‘Program Files’ folders make it easy for redirecting requests from 32-bit applications to 32-bit DLLs.

    Product Not Recommended for New Designs Application Note: Virtex-II Pro R Statistical Profiler for Embedded IBM PowerPC XAPP545 (v1.0) September 15, 2004 Author: Njuguna Njoroge Summary This application note describes how to generate statistical profiling information from the IBM PowerPC 405D, which is embedded in some Virtex-II Pro™ FPGAs. Specifically, the application note details how to convert trace output files generated from the Agilent Technologies Trace Port Analyzer into a gprof (GNU profiler) readable format. The gprof tool is capable of generating a histogram of a program's functions and a call-graph table of those functions. Introduction Profiling allows a programmer to assess where a program is spending most of its time and how frequently functions are being called. With this information, a programmer can gain insight as to what optimizations to make. In some cases, a programmer can identify bugs that would be otherwise undetectable. Using the RISCWatch application is a first step in profiling a program. Nonetheless, manually mulling through approximately 350 MB (or 8 million cycles) of trace data to discern the run-time profile of the program is a fruitless endeavor. In fact, the designers of RISCWatch realized this, so they standardized the trace output format to enable post processing of the trace. The regular format of the trace files allows scripts to parse through the trace and convert it to the gprof format. By converting the trace files into the gprof format, the widespread use of gprof in the profiling community

  • Assembly Language Programming
    Experiment 3 Assembly Language Programming Every computer, no matter how simple or complex, has a microprocessor that manages the computer's arithmetical, logical and control activities. A computer program is a collection of numbers stored in memory in the form of ones and zeros. CPU reads these numbers one at a time, decodes them and perform the required action. We term these numbers as machine language. Although machine language instructions make perfect sense to computer but humans cannot comprehend them. A long time ago, someone came up with the idea that computer programs could be written using words instead of numbers and a new language of mnemonics was de- veloped and named as assembly language. An assembly language is a low-level programming language and there is a very strong (generally one-to-one) correspondence between the language and the architecture's machine code instructions. We know that computer cannot interpret assembly language instructions. A program should be developed that performs the task of translating the assembly language instructions to ma- chine language. A computer program that translates the source code written with mnemonics into the executable machine language instructions is called an assembler. The input of an assembler is a source code and its output is an executable object code. Assembly language programs are not portable because assembly language instructions are specific to a particular computer architecture. Similarly, a different assembler is required to make an object code for each platform. The ARM Architecture The ARM is a Reduced Instruction Set Computer(RISC) with a relatively simple implementation of a load/store architecture, i.e.

  • Input and Output (I/O) in 8086 Assembly Language Each Microprocessor Provides Instructions for I/O with the Devices That Are
    Input and Output (I/O) in 8086 Assembly Language Each microprocessor provides instructions for I/O with the devices that are attached to it, e.g. the keyboard and screen. The 8086 provides the instructions in for input and out for output. These instructions are quite complicated to use, so we usually use the operating system to do I/O for us instead. The operating system provides a range of I/O subprograms, in much the same way as there is an extensive library of subprograms available to the C programmer. In C, to perform an I/O operation, we call a subprogram using its name to indicate its operations, e.g. putchar(), printf(), getchar(). In addition we may pass a parameter to the subprogram, for example the character to be displayed by putchar() is passed as a parameter e.g. putchar(c). In assembly language we must have a mechanism to call the operating system to carry out I/O. In addition we must be able to tell the operating system what kind of I/O operation we wish to carry out, e.g. to read a character from the keyboard, to display a character or string on the screen or to do disk I/O. Finally, we must have a means of passing parameters to the operating subprogram. Introduction to 8086 Assembly Language Programming Section 2 1 In 8086 assembly language, we do not call operating system subprograms by name, instead, we use a software interrupt mechanism An interrupt signals the processor to suspend its current activity (i.e.

Installing MASM 6.15 1.3. Displaying a Welcome Statement 1.4. Installing the Windows Debugger 1.5. Using the Windows Debugger 1.6. Data Representation 1.1 Introduction to Assembly Language Tools Software tools are used for editing, assembling, linking, and debugging assembly language programming. You will need an assembler, a linker, a debugger, and an editor. These tools are briefly explained below. 1.1.1 Assembler An assembler is a program that converts source-code programs written in assembly language into object files in machine language. Popular assemblers have emerged over the years for the Intel family of processors. These include MASM (Macro Assembler from Microsoft), TASM (Turbo Assembler from Borland), NASM (Netwide Assembler for both Windows and Linux), and GNU assembler distributed by the free software foundation. We will use MASM 6.15. 1.1.2 Linker A linker is a program that combines your program's object file created by the assembler with other object files and link libraries, and produces a single executable program. You need a linker utility to produce executable files. Two linkers: LINK.EXE and LINK32.EXE are provided with the MASM 6.15 distribution to link 16-bit real-address mode and 32-bit protected-address mode programs respectively. We will also use a link library for basic input-output. Two versions of the link library exist that were originally developed by Kip Irvine.
