SMITE Installation and Analysis.

Abstract

RADC is currently building a computer emulation facility to assist in evaluation of hardware/software/firmware tradeoffs necessary in the development of system architectures. As part of this effort, RADC has purchased a QM-1 microprogrammable computer which is designed to run computer emulations, and to get access to SMITE which is a Higher Order Language for describing computer architecture emulations and a compiler which produces code to emulate said architectures on the QM-1 computer. This effort also studied the possibility of being able to extend SMITE to make it a more useful hardware description language. This report presents the findings and conclusions of research and studies into the use of extensible features within the SMITE Language. SMITE is a computer hardware description language that produces an emulation of the machine that can be loaded and run on a QM-1 computer. The extensibility feature will allow the description of non-standard architectures and architectures not yet envisioned.
