ALCOR(ID:360/alc005)

ALCOR-Gruppe ALGOL

Country: International
Designed 1961
Genus: True ALGOL60s
Sammet category: Numerical Scientific

For ALgol COnverteR - one of Sammet's four true subsets of ALGOL, defined by the ALCOR Group (ALCOR-Gruppe), which was a consortium of manufactures formed to build an ALGOL machine after the ALGOL meeting in Copenhagen in 1958.

The ALCOR (ALgol COnverteR) joint project was a very early conceptual design for the interpretation of ALGOL 60. The European group devised a high level language machine architecture which was emulated on various machines. The conceptual machine had two stacks which were used for expression parsing and evaluation. One stack held pending operations, while the other stack held intermediate results. Variables and return addresses were statically allocated in program memory.
