RECENT ABSTRACTS ULTRA-FAST MINI-COMPUTATION WITH A SIMPLE MICROPROGRAMMED by Granino A. Korn The University of Arizona Tucson, Arizona (from Computers in Education, ASEE, March, '74) BLOCK-DIAGRAM LANGUAGE Minicomputer data processing, control, and simulation at full machine-language speed is easily programmed in a new block-diagram language emulating a sort of super-analog-computer. Conventional operators, (adders, integrators, function generators, etc.) and more sophisticated blocks (function memory, amplitude-distribution analyzer, Fourier transform) are implemented as microprogrammed subroutines to permit dramatic savings in computing time and memory. Real-time input/output operations (analog/digital conversion, plant timing/control) correspond to similar microprogrammed blocks. The investigator interacts online with the system through an inexpensive graphic display, using simple editing and output commands typed on the CRT screen. A MICROPROGRAMMED STACK MACHINE EMULATOR by Kenneth G. Castor NTIS Report Air Force Inst. of Tech Wright-Patterson Ohio School of Engineering AFB The effort which is documented by this thesis has produced a microprogrammed stack machine emulator adapted to the Burroughs Aerospace Multiprocessor. The emulator is written in a symbolic microlanguage, called TRANSLANG, which was developed by Burroughs Corporation. A listing of the microlanguage is not ineluded with the report. The purpose of the emulation is the implementation of an ALGOL capability
