optimization by as

[Virendra Kumar Pathak]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the reply.

What other types of optimization can be handled by the assembler ?
Are they capable of re-ordering the instructions ?
For example inserting other instruction between two loads (on machine
with one load unit) to avoid pipeline stall.

Thanks.
