Abstract

SYSL-System Description Language, which is a higer level language like FORTRAN, COBOL and so on, has been developed as a system implementation language for use by DIPS-1 operating system, a large scale OS for time-sharing services, banking control services and so on.Run-time efficiency and space efficiency of SYSL object codes are 1.11 time and 1.17 times, respectively, of those obtained from assembly language.SYSL has been used to write about 90 per cent of language processors and other processing programs of DIPS-1 OSSYSL has reduced the huge amount of time required for coding, debugging, maintaining and documenting.
