Abstract

NELIAC, a compiler based on ALGOL, was developed at the U. S. Navy Electronics Laboratory, San Diego, California, as a “bootstrap” compiler for the Remington Rand Univac COUNTESS computer. This compiler was used to generate a version of itself which, running as a COUNTESS program, generated machine code for the Control Data Corporation CDC-1604 computer. This second compiler was then used to generate a version of NELIAC for the CDC-1604. All three versions of NELIAC accepted essentially identical input language.
