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.

An empirical study of a model for program error prediction
Muneo Takahashi,Yuji Kamayachi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model is presented for estimating the number of errors remaining in a program at the beginning of the testing phase of development, based on the relationship between the errors occurring in a software program and the various factors that affect software development, such as programmer skill.

An empirical study of a model for program error prediction
Muneo Takahashi,Yuji Kamayachi +1 more
- 01 Aug 1985
TL;DR: Results of the study indicate that factors such as frequency of program specification change, programmer's skill, and volume of program design document are significant and that the model based on these factors is more reliable than conventional error prediction methods based on program size alone.

Object code optimization
Edward S. Lowry,C. W. Medlock +1 more
TL;DR: Methods of analyzing the control flow and data flow of programs during compilation are applied to transforming the program to improve object time efficiency and implementation of these and other optimizations in OS/360 FORTRAN H are described.

The LRLTRAN compiler
Sam F. Mendicino,Robert A. Hughes,Jeanne T. Martin,Frank H. McMahon,John E. Ranelletti,Richard G. Zwakenberg +5 more
TL;DR: A language and a compiler for that language, called LRLTRAN, is a heavily augmented FORTRAN and makes use internally of a postfix Polish notation and a free representation referred to as a “composite blocking table”.

Brief survey of languages used for systems implementation
TL;DR: The issues involved in deciding on the use of a higher level language, including the technical, management, psychological factors, and the advantages and disadvantages are discussed, and general comments and future trends are indicated.
