  back-end
       
           Any software performing either the final stage
          in a process, or a task not apparent to the user.  A common
          usage is in a {compiler}.  A compiler's back-end generates
          {machine language} and performs optimisations specific to the


          machine's {architecture}.
       
          The term can also be used in the context of {network}
          applications.  E.g. "The back-end of the system handles
          {socket} protocols".
       
          Contrast {front end}.
