A New FORTRAN Processing Program-FORTRAN Processor(19000)-for the IBM-1620 Computer

Abstract

The existing FORTRAN processor of IBM 1620 digital computer at National Chiao Tung University uses a two-stage translation process to execute a FORTRAN program. Considerable time and paper tape are wasted in this process. This paper describes an one-stage translation process that avoids these disadvantages. This new translation program called FORTRAN processor (19000) is now used in the computer center of National Chiao Tung University.
