What does the line in the presentation "System z millicode is prepared using
the Tachyon z/Assembler" mean?
This should probably say, "Some System z millicode is prepared using the
Tachyon z/Assembler."
It's widely known that parts of System z millicode are written in PL8.
The compiler translates the PL8 source code into assembler source code.
And, according to
http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/rd/483/gellerich.html, the resulting
assembler source code is then assembled by the GNU assembler.
