The Main Features of Atlas Autocode
R. A. Brooker, J. S. Rohl, Stephen R. L. Clark · The Computer Journal · 1966
This paper describes the main features of an ALGOL-type compiler that has been used very successfully with the Manchester Atlas for over two years. Since we are dealing with a working system special attention is given to the input/output and fault monitoring facilities, and also to the efficiency of the system. Not being bound by any particular dogma, the authors have felt free to play with the system, and some indication of recent developments is given.
