However, an [[Interpreter_(computing)|interpreter]] may also be constructed for any language, in which case all decisions on order of execution are dynamic. An [[Interpreter_(computing)|interpreter]] can be viewed as being part translator, and part execution model implementation.
 
== Execution model of assembly language versus implementation by micro-architectures ==
 
Assembly languages also have execution models, the same as any other language. Such an execution model is implemented by a CPU micro-architecture. For example, both a 5 stage in-order pipeline and a large out of order CPU implement the same assembly language execution model. The execution model is the definition of the behavior, so all implementations, whether in-order or out-of-order or interpreted or JIT'd etc.. must all give the exact same result, and that result is defined by the execution model.
 
 
Each and every programming language has an execution model, which determines the manner in which the units of work (that are indicated by program [[Syntax (programming languages)|syntax]]) are [[Scheduling (computing)|scheduled]] for [[Execution (computing)|execution]]. Detailed examples of the specification of execution models of a few popular languages include those of Python,<ref>
