Automatic programming and compilers II
K.G. Balke, G. Carter, Bruce Gilchrist · 1962
RECENT YEARS have been the development of two somewhat similar automatic coding systems at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory of the University of California. The MADCAP system, generating codes to be run on the MANIAC computer, has been produced primarily by Mark Wells and Donald Bradford . The COLASL system, which compiles codes to be run on the IBM-7030 (STRETCH) computer, is the result of work done by the authors under the direction of Edward A. Voorhees. Both systems have attempted to utilize source languages which are as natural as possible within the limitations of time and hardware.
