OSTI ID:5209853
Low-level computer architectures have been characterised as reduced instruction set computers (RISC machines). Their advocates assume that most programming should be done in a high-level language. This study provides some insights into a variety of compilation techniques for low-level machines gained from the PL.8 compiler. It also suggests some desirable features for low-level machines. In order to focus the discussion, only one high-level function is considered, namely integer multiplication. However, the techniques discussed can be used to implement a wide variety of functions in many languages. 6 references.
