  • An Array-Oriented Language with Static Rank Polymorphism
    An array-oriented language with static rank polymorphism Justin Slepak, Olin Shivers, and Panagiotis Manolios Northeastern University fjrslepak,shivers,[email protected] Abstract. The array-computational model pioneered by Iverson's lan- guages APL and J offers a simple and expressive solution to the \von Neumann bottleneck." It includes a form of rank, or dimensional, poly- morphism, which renders much of a program's control structure im- plicit by lifting base operators to higher-dimensional array structures. We present the first formal semantics for this model, along with the first static type system that captures the full power of the core language. The formal dynamic semantics of our core language, Remora, illuminates several of the murkier corners of the model. This allows us to resolve some of the model's ad hoc elements in more general, regular ways. Among these, we can generalise the model from SIMD to MIMD computations, by extending the semantics to permit functions to be lifted to higher- dimensional arrays in the same way as their arguments. Our static semantics, a dependent type system of carefully restricted power, is capable of describing array computations whose dimensions cannot be determined statically. The type-checking problem is decidable and the type system is accompanied by the usual soundness theorems. Our type system's principal contribution is that it serves to extract the implicit control structure that provides so much of the language's expres- sive power, making this structure explicitly apparent at compile time. 1 The Promise of Rank Polymorphism Behind every interesting programming language is an interesting model of com- putation.

    Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation Shriram Krishnamurthi Brown University Copyright c 2003, Shriram Krishnamurthi This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United States License. If you create a derivative work, please include the version information below in your attribution. This book is available free-of-cost from the author’s Web site. This version was generated on 2007-04-26. ii Preface The book is the textbook for the programming languages course at Brown University, which is taken pri- marily by third and fourth year undergraduates and beginning graduate (both MS and PhD) students. It seems very accessible to smart second year students too, and indeed those are some of my most successful students. The book has been used at over a dozen other universities as a primary or secondary text. The book’s material is worth one undergraduate course worth of credit. This book is the fruit of a vision for teaching programming languages by integrating the “two cultures” that have evolved in its pedagogy. One culture is based on interpreters, while the other emphasizes a survey of languages. Each approach has significant advantages but also huge drawbacks. The interpreter method writes programs to learn concepts, and has its heart the fundamental belief that by teaching the computer to execute a concept we more thoroughly learn it ourselves. While this reasoning is internally consistent, it fails to recognize that understanding definitions does not imply we understand consequences of those definitions. For instance, the difference between strict and lazy evaluation, or between static and dynamic scope, is only a few lines of interpreter code, but the consequences of these choices is enormous.

  • A Guide to PL/M Programming
    INTEL CORP. 3065 Bowers Avenue, Santa Clara, California 95051 • (408) 246-7501 mcs=a A Guide to PL/M programming PL/M is a new high level programming language designed specifically for Intel's 8 bit microcomputers. The new language gives the microcomputer systems program­ mer the same advantages of high level language programming currently available in the mini and large computer fields. Designed to meet the special needs of systems programming, the new language will drastically cut microcomputer programming time and costs without sacrifice of program efficiency. in addition, training, docu­ mentation, program maintenance and the inclusion of library subroutines will all be made correspondingly easier. PL/M is well suited for all microcomputer program­ ming applications, retaining the control and efficiency of assembly language, while greatly reducing programming effort The PL/M compiler is written in ANSI stand­ ard Fortran I V and thus will execute on most machines without alteration.

    Visual Programming Language for Tacit Subset of J Programming Language Nouman Tariq Dissertation 2013 Erasmus Mundus MSc in Dependable Software Systems Department of Computer Science National University of Ireland, Maynooth Co. Kildare, Ireland A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Erasmus Mundus MSc Dependable Software Systems Head of Department : Dr Adam Winstanley Supervisor : Professor Ronan Reilly June 30, 2013 Declaration I hereby certify that this material, which I now submit for assessment on the program of study leading to the award of Master of Science in Dependable Software Systems, is entirely my own work and has not been taken from the work of others save and to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my work. Signed:___________________________ Date:___________________________ Abstract Visual programming is the idea of using graphical icons to create programs. I take a look at available solutions and challenges facing visual languages. Keeping these challenges in mind, I measure the suitability of Blockly and highlight the advantages of using Blockly for creating a visual programming environment for the J programming language. Blockly is an open source general purpose visual programming language designed by Google which provides a wide range of features and is meant to be customized to the user’s needs. I also discuss features of the J programming language that make it suitable for use in visual programming language. The result is a visual programming environment for the tacit subset of the J programming language.

  • Frederick Phillips Brooks, Jr
    Frederick Phillips Brooks, Jr. Biography Frederick P. Brooks, Jr., was born in 1931 in Durham NC, and grew up in Greenville NC. He received an A.B. summa cum laude in physics from Duke and a Ph.D. in computer science from Harvard, under Howard Aiken, the inventor of the early Harvard computers. He joined IBM, working in Poughkeepsie and Yorktown, NY, 1956-1965. He was an architect of the Stretch and Harvest computers and then was the project manager for the development of IBM's System/360 family of computers and then of the Operating System/360 software. For this work he received a National Medal of Technology jointly with Bob O. Evans and Erich Bloch Brooks and Dura Sweeney in 1957 patented an interrupt system for the IBM Stretch computer that introduced most features of today's interrupt systems. He coined the term computer architecture. His System/360 team first achieved strict compatibility, upward and downward, in a computer family. His early concern for word processing led to his selection of the 8-bit byte and the lowercase alphabet for the System/360, engineering of many new 8-bit input/output devices, and introduction of a character-string datatype in the PL/I programming language. In 1964 he founded the Computer Science Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and chaired it for 20 years. Currently, he is Kenan Professor of Computer Science. His principal research is in real-time, three-dimensional, computer graphics—“virtual reality.” His research has helped biochemists solve the structure of complex molecules and enabled architects to “walk through” structures still being designed.
