On the Design of a Microcode Compiler for a Machine-Independent High-Level Language
A translator system employing a partial compiler, intermediate language, and three-pass code generator is described that produces compact microcode for a class of horizontal microinstruction machines.
A general-purpose high-level language machine for minicomputers
In the course of our investigations into the design of translator writing systems (compiler-compilers), it has been established [2] that a certain set of “semantic primitives” can adequately express the major portion of the semantics of programs written ...
