Speed Co(ID:8454/)

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1954

Autocode in use at GM Allison developed independantly for the IBM 701 by Ramshaw at United Aircraft. Certainly mentioned by several people as sparate to Speedcode, and given the importance of Ramshaw for the Speedcode project, may have been a continuation of earlier work

according to the 1961 BRL report at GM "Two interpretive systems are used, Speed Co and ACOM. Speed Co is 3-address while ACOM is 2-address. Both provide for floating point arithmetic, transcendental functions, In-Out operations, B-boxes, and tracing all of which aid in coding and checkout."
