The Basis System
This paper discusses the basis system. Basis is a program development system for scientific programs. It has been developed over the last five years at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), where it is now used in about twenty major programming efforts. The Basis System includes two major components, a program development system and a run-time package. The run-time package provides the Basis Language interpreter, through which the user does input, output, plotting, and control of the program's subroutines and functions. Variables in the scientific packages are known to this interpreter, so that the user may arbitrarily print, plot, and calculate with, any major program variables. Also provided are facilities for dynamic memory management, terminal logs, error recovery, text-file i/o, and the attachment of non-Basis-developed packages.
