Abstract

This paper reports on the Polish String intermediate language used in the hardware high level language processor for Algol 60. The intermediate language was pinpointed because it is the most important aspect of the language processor, affecting the entire design. The reader is referred to Gries (1) for a good description of the basic operation of a Polish String processor, and to the Burroughs B5500 (2) for an example of a system using a Polish String intermediate language. This paper attempts to give a brief description of the complete Polish String language and to emphasize those aspects which relate to the hardware implementation of the language processor.
