Abstract: A microcomputer having a high speed access memory and a language processing program execution system capable of producing a compact object including a high speed variable operation is disclosed. As to an input source program, variable areas used by subroutines are calculated by a variable area analyzing part, and a flow graph of an interrelation of callings of the subroutines is produced by a flow graph producing part. Then, the maximum variable area used by a whole program is calculated from the sizes of the variable areas and the flow graph by a maximum variable area detecting part. When the calculated maximum variable area size of the whole program is smaller than the memory size of the high speed access memory, an output part outputs the object information with variables allocated in the high speed access memory.
Abstract: A data processing I/O system having a main storage for storing data including a software configuration definition and data processing instructions arranged in programs including an operating system, a storage device for storing I/O definition files including hardware configuration information, a processor controller for containing the hardware configuration information, and a hardware storage area (HSA) connected to the processor controller for storing a hardware configuration definition. A hardware configuration definition program (HCD) builds I/O definition files (IODFs), each IODF containing at least one I/O processor configuration definition. Each processor I/O configuration definition has a hardware token for identification. The hardware configuration information for an I/O processor configuration definition, along with a copy of its hardware token, is transferred to the processor controller by an I/O configuration program (IOCP), and a hardware configuration definition is established in the HSA.
