COMRADE Absolute Subroutine Utility Users Manual.

Abstract

The COMRADE Absolute Subroutine Utility (ASU) comprises a program that can be used to build and maintain a library of FORTRAN subroutines in executable code, and two FORTRAN-callable subroutines that can be executed to perform library initialization, and loading and execution of library subroutines. Each subroutine on an ASU library is organized as a variable-length page which can be swapped into and executed within a predetermined area of memory. This arrangement allows an application within a predetermined area of memory. This arrangement allows an application programmer to minimize memory requirements; reduce disk storage; pass parameters to library subroutines; randomly access each subroutine; generate executable code which can be shared by a set of application programs; and modify library subroutines without having to rebuild application programs. The ASU is currently operational on DTNSRDC's CDC 6700 SCOPE 3.4 computing system. (Author)
