More to the point, it is the Sun SPARC assembler, which takes the C
language that has been compiled to SPARC-specific assembler language,
and translates it to the bits'n'bytes of the machine language that
actually has to be loaded when a computer runs a compiled program.  It
is the last stage of a multi-stage compiler [as most modern compilers
are] when compiling a single module, before it is linked in with
libraries etc.

Kind of vital for any system on which you are going to be doing
software development with a compiled language.
