Processor architecture for Turbo Pascal language
This dissertation describes the functional design of a high-level language architecture directed towards the execution of programs written in Turbo Pascal language in particular, with the ideas being applied to other block-structured languages in general. The language processor does not require the complex software of compilers, assemblers, and linkage editors in order to run Turbo Pascal source code programs. The language processor can execute Turbo Pascal programs several orders of magnitude faster than conventional systems without language orientation. The Turbo Pascal language processor closely reflects the data and control constructs of the high-level language. The language processor is designed as a pipelined processor in which several dedicated hardware processors are operating at the same time. Other innovations of the language processor are also described. The language processor can make a better use of current developments in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology.
