Programme Design for the C.S.I.R.O. Mark I Computer. IV. Automatic Programming by Simple Compiler Techniques

Abstract

Techniques are described for using the C.S.I.R.O: Mark I computer to assemble complete programmes from greatly reduced input programmes by selecting and transferring routines from standard libraries and forming appropriate commands to interconnect routines and the problem programme. The "compiler" process is described for computer-code programmes and for hyper-code programmes which use interpretive routines to provide elaborate arithmetical operations corresponding to each hyper-code.
