A large subset of the language Algol 68 has been implemented on a small computer-the TESLA ZOO with a 64 Kbyte store. In this paper, the general structure of the compiler and organization of the program at run-time are described. Especially, the original methods and devices are mentioned that cause a considerable enhancement of the speed of compilation and program run. These concern the syntax analysis (consistent notation, error recovery), the organization of the resulting program (procedure organization, algorithms of work with multiple values) and the techniques of code generation.We try to show that Algol 68 is a suitable programming language for small as well as large computers and that it can successfully compete with traditional programming languages.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
