The development of COBOL "calculator" for high-performance, bit-slice microprocessors
Ronald W. Modes, Elizabeth K. Conley · 1977
Abstract : The design of a COBOL editor and interpreter is explored which uses simple, straightforward algorithms similar to the approach found in programmable calculators. The algorithms are designed to be implemented using the microinstructions of a high-performance bit-slice microprocessor. A possible machine design using a family of microprogrammable four-bit-slice bipolar circuits is outlined. (Author)
