Direct Execution Language Architecture for Simulation.

Abstract

The study presented in this report addresses the application of direct execution computer architecture concepts using low-cost, large-scale-integration (LSI) to continuous system simulation. Basic architecture schemes for direct execution systems were investigated and applied to a demonstration interactive simulation language. A dual processor direct execution system was designed and built using an LSI-11 microcomputer, a 16K x 16 dual port memory, a microprogrammed AMD 2900 bit-slice direct execution processor, and a 16 x 16 multiplier chip. The system features a distinct separation of interpretive/compiler software and simulation run execution firmware linked via the dual port. The system is demonstrated via several simulation examples including realtime control, optimization, and torpedo dynamics problems. (Author)
