Abstract

The many machine oriented and problem oriented languages existing and being planned today give rise to more complex problems in operating a computer. The development of computer operating systems have materially aided the problem of getting a program or series of programs on and off the computer efficiently. The variety of language processors have created a new operating system function - that of interpreting a language describing the processing to be performed for a given job. In particular the language is used to call a given processor, perscribe pertinent options and other control information. As such it is termed a computer operation language or operator oriented language. Not only does this language serve to free the human operator of many clerical tasks but it also provides for more consistent and error-free operation of the computer.

Universal computer-oriented language

The basic idea of UNCOL Universal Computer-Oriented Language—is to introduce a language between problem-oriented languages, POLs, and machine languages, MLs. This third level consists of a single language, UNCOL, which has the character of a generalized ...

ISCA '80: Proceedings of the 7th annual symposium on Computer Architecture

High-level language computers (HLLC) have attracted interest in the architectural and programming community during the last 15 years; proposals have been made for machines directed towards the execution of various languages such as ALGOL,^1,2 APL,^3,4,5 ...
