Assembly Synonyms

If you read my recent article about my custom CPU with one instruction , you probably figured out that even though the processor only knows about a move instruction, the assembler provides more common op codes (like JMP or CALL) and translates them into the appropriate move. The Maxim MAXQ (another single instruction computer) does the same thing. But the practice isn't just limited to one instruction machines.
