The phrase "a target machine" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to computing, programming, or any scenario where a specific machine or system is the focus of an operation or task.
Example: "In our testing phase, we will deploy the software on a target machine to evaluate its performance."
Alternatives: "designated machine" or "intended machine".
A desirable organization for a compiler has a target machine independent, source language dependent front end, and a target machine dependent, source language independent back end.
Idioms on a target machine and predicates for their applicability are discovered during compiler construction.
The intermediate language that is passed from a language specific front end to a target machine dependent code generator must be both flexible and compact.
With ransomware attacks, the malware locks down a target machine, encrypting its data and preventing the owner from accessing it until he or she agrees to pay up.
In this study, rotor misalignments of a target machine were estimated and helix modifications which absorb the bad influence of these misalignments were designed by using transmission error simulation.
We'll also study the problem of translating programming languages into machine-executable forms, using Python as a concrete example of a language to be translated, and the assembly language of the Intel ia32 family (used in PCs and some of our Solaris workstations downstairs) as a concrete example of a target machine.
Retargetable compilers generate code using machine-independent algorithms guided by the results of an analysis of the target machine.
The RAMP Gold prototype runs on a single Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA board and simulates a 64-core shared-memory target machine.
The worst thing that happened was that the attack crashed the target machine, requiring a reboot.
Retargetability is typically achieved by providing target machine information (in an ADL) as input to the compiler along with the program corresponding to the application.
The back end, also called a code generator, translates the IR to target machine instructions.
