PRIM System: Overview

Abstract

This document is an introduction to the services available with the Programming Research Instrument (PRIM), an interactive microprogrammable environment available to remote users through the ARPANET. PRIM, which runs under the TENEX timesharing system, makes it possible to create and use emulators of existing or newly specified computers, with major emphasis on debugging tools. PRIM and TENEX together provide not only editors, compilers, and debuggers for creating emulators but also an environment for using the target systems, debuggers and configurors in the familiar language of the original system.
