SIMPL(ID:658/sim029)

Horizonatally sequenced Algol  

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1974
Published: 1974
Genus: True ALGOL60s
Sammet category: Specialised Languages

for Single Identity Micro Programming Language.

C. Ramamoorthy et al, UC Berkeley, 1974.

An Algol 60-like microprogramming language, with horizontal capabilities (it used a form of critical path analysis to optimise the microinstructions to micro-operations ratio).

SIMPL was the first language to allow sequential specification of horizontal microprograms. Compiler in SNOBOL4.
