Digital Communications Terminal High Order Programming Language Study (DCT HOL Study). Volume II. Appendices.

摘要

This paper reports the results of a study to select a high order programming language for the development of computer programs for the digital communications terminal. All languages suitable for use with the NSC800 microprocessor were considered. The nine final candidates were evaluated by a methodology including benchmarking and determination of a figure of merit. During the conduct of the study it became clear that the program support environment must include both a minicomputer software engineering host, and a microcomputer development system. The language selected is Interactive Systems C. The system includes a cross-compiler running on a PDP-11 and generating code for the NSC800. (Author)
