Directly Executed Language (DEL) is executedby a DEL interpreter which resides as a microprogram on the host. Because of the direct correspondence to the high-level language, the DEL interpreter is dedicated to a specificDEL instruction set. However, instruction sets for other HLLs and the corresponding DEL interpreter may be realised by substituting the microprogram. The HLL source program is con-verted to the DEL instructions by a simple one-to-one translation, corresponding to the Type A architecture of the above categories. Other intermediate program representations and image architectures have been described for avariety of high-level languages. Examples are M-code for Modula, P-code for Pascal, threaded code for Forth and Basic, the SECD-machine for Lisp, and the Warren Abstract Machine(WAM) for Prolog.
