NELIAC(ID:32/nel003)

Navy Electronics Laboratory International ALGOL Compiler 

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1958
Published: 1960
Sammet category: Numerical Scientific

Navy Electronics Laboratory International ALGOL Compiler. 1958- 1959.
Numeric and logical computations, based on IAL.

Significant in that it provided the first ever bootstrap implementation, and the standard reference for NELIAC (Halstead's book) was for many years the primary reference for such compilers.

A significant non-language development of NELIAC was the first great Decompiler, NELIAC-D, which was originally a proof of concept machine independent system, but grew in importance in its own right.
