OSTI ID:7109317
High-level languages for microprocessors were introduced in 1973 with Intel's 8008 PLM. Since then, a controversy has raged over the worthiness or unworthiness of high-level languages in microprocessor applications. Now, in 1976, most microprocessor vendors have already announced plans for high-level languages. They range from PLM compilers to the BASIC interpreters. Lawrence Livermore Laboratory's BASIC combines the best features of both compilers and interpreters. LLL's BASIC consists of a 5K-byte PROM resident interpreter, used for program generation and debugging, and a cross-compiler used to convert the lengthy, inefficient interpretive program into an efficient object code. The finalized object code executes faster than an equivalent PDP-8e FOCAL program, which indicates BASIC's capabilities in the areas of data acquisition and control, where FOCAL has been so well accepted. 3 figures, 3 tables.
