| (language) | Executive Systems Programming Oriented Language - An ALGOL superset with high level instructions
for low level actions, e.g. interrupting another processor on
a multiprocessor system. Its single pass compiler was very
fast: over 250 lines/s on a 10MHz processor. ESPOL was used to write the MCP (Master Control Program) on the Burroughs 6700. It was superseded by NEWP. ["The B6700 ESPOL Reference Manual", Burroughs, 1970]. |
