Among other hardware languages AHPL became one of the most popular because of its one-to-one hardware correspondence. HPSIM,. Hardware Program SIMulator, is a digital system simulation program that uses AHPL as the source code language, and interprets it. The HPSIM program is a two pass interpreter. The first pass translates the source code into internal table form, and the second pass, the execution pass, executes the translated form of the source code. A complete description on how to use the HPSIM interpreter and a detailed explanation, with the help of flowcharts, is documented. Example programs and a complete listing of the interpreter program is included. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Hardware languages constitute a new approach to digital system design. Such languages with their supporting programs can facilitate the application of computer aided design to digital systems. One supporting program for hardware languages is a simulator. At the functional level, such a program will test the designed digital system, eliminating the designer's need to test and debug his circuit in the laboratory. HPSIM is a program of this sort. In hardware design languages a high level of detail might include the description of gates with delays associ­ ated, whereas a low level of detail might be description at the block, diagram level, AHPL II, 2], a hardware programing language, strikes a middle ground in descriptive levels. It is a clocked mode register transfer level language (RTL). The root of AHPL is APL 13]' which is noted for its ability to express very complex operations in compact form. AHPL inherits this trait, but always constrained by the necessity of a onfe-to-one correspondence with the actual hardware, because of these mentioned advantages, AHPL was chosen to be simulated by HPSIM (hardware program simulator). HPSIM is written in FORTRAN and has been implemented on the CDC-64 00 as well as the DEC 10. This program is a two pass interpreter, the first pass translates the source code into five executable tables, the second pass will begin executing the tables after the first pass has generated them. The input to the interpreter is an AHPL description of a circuit followed by data and printout request section. The output of the HPSIM program is a.list of the binary values at each clock period for any specified terminal or vector. The AHPL which is used as the input to HPSIM is a modified version of AHPL of Reference 2. This modification was necessary since the language AHPL as described in Reference 2 had some ambiguities and some symbols not available in ASCII. The modifications are very slight though, and the basic syntax of AHPL is unchanged. The HPSIM source code describes the hardware of the digital system. The. declarations of a HPSIM source code describe the basic elements of the circuit such as counters, adders, registers, bus-lines, etc. The AHPL description, on the other hand, describes the connections between these elements, Together, the declarations and description provide an exact software description Of the required hard­ ware . Normally an initial design of a digital circuit is run on HPSIRl and modified several times before a final design is reached. With final design in hand, building the hardware is just a matter of translating -the AHPL description to hardware. Using AHPL for designing digital systems and simulating those systems by HPSIM gives designer a good insight into the system, and corrections and modifi­ cations become as simple as adding, eliminating, or moving around AHPL statements in the description.

Intro.2: When a software house has a popular product they tend to come up with new versions. A user can update an old version to a new one, and the update usually comes as a compressed file on a floppy disk. Over time the updates get bigger and, at a certain point, an update may not fit on a single floppy. This is why good compression is important in the case of software updates. The time it takes to compress and decompress the update is unimportant since these operations are typically done just once. Recently, software makers have taken to providing updates over the Internet, but even in such cases it is important to have small files because of the download times involved. 1.1: (1) ask a question, (2) absolutely necessary, (3) advance warning, (4) boiling hot, (5) climb up, (6) close scrutiny, (7) exactly the same, (8) free gift, (9) hot water heater, (10) my personal opinion, (11) newborn baby, (12) postponed until later, (13) unexpected surprise, (14) unsolved mysteries. 1.2: A reasonable way to use them is to code the five most-common strings in the text. Because irreversible text compression is a special-purpose method, the user may know what strings are common in any particular text to be compressed. The user may specify five such strings to the encoder, and they should also be written at the start of the output stream, for the decoder’s use.

  • Appendix a Information Theory
    Appendix A Information Theory This appendix serves as a brief introduction to information theory, the foundation of many techniques used in data compression. The two most important terms covered here are entropy and redundancy (see also Section 2.3 for an alternative discussion of these concepts). A.1 Information Theory Concepts We intuitively know what information is. We constantly receive and send information in the form of text, sound, and images. We also feel that information is an elusive nonmathematical quantity that cannot be precisely defined, captured, or measured. The standard dictionary definitions of information are (1) knowledge derived from study, experience, or instruction; (2) knowledge of a specific event or situation; intelligence; (3) a collection of facts or data; (4) the act of informing or the condition of being informed; communication of knowledge. Imagine a person who does not know what information is. Would those definitions make it clear to them? Unlikely. The importance of information theory is that it quantifies information. It shows how to measure information, so that we can answer the question “how much information is included in this piece of data?” with a precise number! Quantifying information is based on the observation that the information content of a message is equivalent to the amount of surprise in the message. If I tell you something that you already know (for example, “you and I work here”), I haven’t given you any information. If I tell you something new (for example, “we both received a raise”), I have given you some information. If I tell you something that really surprises you (for example, “only I received a raise”), I have given you more information, regardless of the number of words I have used, and of how you feel about my information.

Strecok National Energy Software Center Argonne National Laboratory Argonne, IL 60439 The National Energy Software Center (NESC) is c software exc!'ange and information center operated by Argonne National Laboratory for the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE), with support from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The major objectives of the NESC program are: o to promote the sharing of co=puter software among agency offices and contractors, o to facilitate the transfer of agency-developed conputer applications and technology to the information processing co=munity, and o to provide the focal point for DOE software exchange arrangements with other government agencies and for coordination of DOE acquisition of non-government software. HISTORY The Center is the successor to the Argonne Code Center, originally established by the U. S. Atomic Energy Co==ission in 1960 in response to a proposal by the Mathematics and Computation Division of the American Nuclear Society for a center dedicated to the collection and exchange of information on nuclear reactor codes. The Code Center operated initially as an adjunct to the Laboratory's Applications Programming activity, utilizing the major computer manufacturers' library facilities for , reproduction and distribution of designated program package material, and professional society services for disse =ination of abstracts describing the , software collection and other information. Beginning in 1965 the Reactor i Physics Branch of the AEC's Division of Reactor Development and Technology provided the direct funding to permit .he development of independent Center sof tware library ar.d information dissemination capabilities.
