  • Introduction to Programming in Fortran 77 for Students of Science and Engineering
    Introduction to programming in Fortran 77 for students of Science and Engineering Roman GrÄoger University of Pennsylvania, Department of Materials Science and Engineering 3231 Walnut Street, O±ce #215, Philadelphia, PA 19104 Revision 1.2 (September 27, 2004) 1 Introduction Fortran (FORmula TRANslation) is a programming language designed speci¯cally for scientists and engineers. For the past 30 years Fortran has been used for such projects as the design of bridges and aeroplane structures, it is used for factory automation control, for storm drainage design, analysis of scienti¯c data and so on. Throughout the life of this language, groups of users have written libraries of useful standard Fortran programs. These programs can be borrowed and used by other people who wish to take advantage of the expertise and experience of the authors, in a similar way in which a book is borrowed from a library. Fortran belongs to a class of higher-level programming languages in which the programs are not written directly in the machine code but instead in an arti¯cal, human-readable language. This source code consists of algorithms built using a set of standard constructions, each consisting of a series of commands which de¯ne the elementary operations with your data. In other words, any algorithm is a cookbook which speci¯es input ingredients, operations with them and with other data and ¯nally returns one or more results, depending on the function of this algorithm. Any source code has to be compiled in order to obtain an executable code which can be run on your computer.

  • 4 Using HLA with the HIDE Integrated Development Environment
    HLA Reference Manual 5/24/10 Chapter 4 4 Using HLA with the HIDE Integrated Development Environment This chapter describes two IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) for HLA: HIDE and RadASM. 4.1 The HLA Integrated Development Environment (HIDE) Sevag has written a nice HLA-specified integrated development environment for HLA called HIDE (HLA IDE). This one is a bit easier to install, set up, and use than RadASM (at the cost of being a little less flexible). HIDE is great for beginners who want to get up and running with a minimal amount of fuss. You can find HIDE at the HIDE home page: http://sites.google.com/site/highlevelassembly/downloads/hide Contact: [email protected] Note: the following documentation was provided by Sevag. Thanks Sevag! 4.1.1 Description HIDE is an integrated development environment for use with Randall Hyde's HLA (High Level Assembler). The HIDE package contains various 3rd party programs and tools to provide for a complete environment that requires no files external to the package. Designed for a system- friendly interface, HIDE makes no changes to your system registry and requires no global environment variables to function. The only exception is ResEd (a 3rd party Resource Editor written by Ketil.O) which saves its window position into the registry. 4.1.2 Operation HIDE is an integrated development environment for use with Randall Hyde's HLA (High Level Assembler).

  • A Peek Under the IDE Hood Overview
    Intro to Arduino A Peek Under the IDE Hood Overview Grades: 5-7 Time: 5-15 minutes Subject: Computer Science, Electronics This PDQ provides a quick and easy peek at some sample Arduino Code. Have no fear – it’s simple and clear! Background Arduino is both an Open Source hardware AND software platform that enables creators, inventors, students and just about anyone to learn basic electronics and coding to make projects. The FREE software for programming your Arduino hardware is called Arduino IDE. IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. The IDE is available for computers running Windows, MacOS, and LINUX. Let’s take a look! Objectives • Understand & Recognize: • “Arduino” as a hardware and software platform for making projects. • “Open Source” as a model of creating and sharing information. • “input” and “output” in both hardware and software based on looking at Arduino projects. • “Community” in the sense of people connected through a common interest such as making cool projects with Arduino. • “Computer programming” or “coding” means writing instructions for the hardware to follow. What You'll Need The activities in this module only require you to have some kind of Internet connected device and a browser! Chromebook, smart phone, supercomputer – whatever you have on hand to search the Internet is all you need! Important Terms Open Source: A model of sharing inventions and information for others to use, improve and share again. Hardware: The”physical” part of a computer or device. If you can thump it on a table, it’s probably hardware. Software: The computer program or “instructions you write” for the hardware.

  • An ECMA-55 Minimal BASIC Compiler for X86-64 Linux®
    Computers 2014, 3, 69-116; doi:10.3390/computers3030069 OPEN ACCESS computers ISSN 2073-431X www.mdpi.com/journal/computers Article An ECMA-55 Minimal BASIC Compiler for x86-64 Linux® John Gatewood Ham Burapha University, Faculty of Informatics, 169 Bangsaen Road, Tambon Saensuk, Amphur Muang, Changwat Chonburi 20131, Thailand; E-mail: [email protected] Received: 24 July 2014; in revised form: 17 September 2014 / Accepted: 1 October 2014 / Published: 1 October 2014 Abstract: This paper describes a new non-optimizing compiler for the ECMA-55 Minimal BASIC language that generates x86-64 assembler code for use on the x86-64 Linux® [1] 3.x platform. The compiler was implemented in C99 and the generated assembly language is in the AT&T style and is for the GNU assembler. The generated code is stand-alone and does not require any shared libraries to run, since it makes system calls to the Linux® kernel directly. The floating point math uses the Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions and the compiler fully implements all of the floating point exception handling required by the ECMA-55 standard. This compiler is designed to be small, simple, and easy to understand for people who want to study a compiler that actually implements full error checking on floating point on x86-64 CPUs even if those people have little programming experience. The generated assembly code is also designed to be simple to read. Keywords: BASIC; compiler; AMD64; INTEL64; EM64T; x86-64; assembly 1.
