Abstract

The Universal Compiling System (UCS) is a unified compiling system for a set of languages and architectures. The integrated implementation discipline of UCS results in reduced development and maintenance costs and increased reliability and efficiency. The key to the UCS design is the strict separation of the source language dependent processes from the architecture dependent processes. This is made possible through the use of an intermediate text and dictionary (symbol table) which is both language independent and architecture independent.
