Identify code that runs on ARM processors

step1: how to recognize it
from project name
from readme file
from actual source code

step2: identify projects, files, and developers in WoC who worked on it

Hi,professor.
I have tried to understand the task. The following is my understanding:
step 1:
I need to write codes that could determine whether one project is running on ARM processors.
step 2:
Inheriting step 1, I need write codes for WoC to decide if one project or file is running on ARM processors and if one developer has written codes for ARM processors.

Is my understanding correct?
If It is, I have some problems:
step 1:
What other information can I use to determine whether the project is running on ARM processors?For example history of commit message, authors' name and etc.
step 2:
I think I need to learn how to use WoC to finish step 2, right?

Hi,professor.
Here are my ideas for step1:
First: We could use suffix names to determine if the project has assembly language.
Second: If there are assembly code, we could determine if it is codes that run on ARM processors by using some ARM codes' features.

Good place to start. Assembler, however, will be a very small portion of all code, I presume. Are there C include files specific for ARM? What about other languages? May there be specific calls to OS libraries that may reveal ARM?

Allow me to clarify the goal of this task.
The big question we want to answer is: how does ARM ecosystem evolve, particularly compared to Intel etc al.? That way we may know how an ecosystem is formed, and what can be done to help.
At the implementation level, we need to locate projects (or contributions in projects) relevant to ARM, and see how they change over time. For example, we may be able to understand what kind of technologies (projects) that are involved in ARM, how they change over time, etc al.

I create a repository and write my plan in readme.
Here is repository
And I think I need to see more projects that are relevant to ARM to extract their common features to improve my plan.
