; various UNIX projects written in assembly language
; of course all of them feature extremely small size
; if you're looking for source code and examples, here they are

There are quite a lot of mixed C-assembly projects, like GNU MP library, ATLAS/BLAS, OpenGUI just to name a few. Also see source code of your kernel and libc. All this will provide you examples of assembly programming on different hardware platforms.
