What color is your instruction?
Opcodism art is not limited to assembly language code and binary installations. It also provides beautiful color illustrations of processor opcodes and instructions. In this post I provide illustrations of NOP, PAUSE and INT 3 instructions generated by Dump2Picture from memory dump images of crashed 1MbNop and 1MbPause processes.
