Influence of Programming Techniques on the Design of Computers
Grace Murray Hopper, John W. Mauchly · Proceedings of the IRE · 1953
Along with advances in hardware design, the programmer is making advances in programming techniques. These new techniques take advantage of the high-speed checked operation of the computer to perform the routine work of programming. It is quite conceivable that these techniques will exert a strong influence on computer design in the future.
