Persistent Salgol
\layout Standard

Persistent Salgol is a dialect of S-algol that I developed for my PhD.
 The original version of S-algol was developed by Ron Morrison at St-Andrews
 University.
 My version here is written in Turbo Pascal and has the following features:
\layout Itemize

Borland style IDE
\layout Itemize

Fast 80x86 code generation
\layout Itemize

128 bit persistent virtual address space
\layout Itemize

Garbage collection
\layout Itemize

Graphics classes
\layout Itemize

Class hierarchy with inheritance mechanisms
\layout Standard

It is available in source code form and was documented in my book A compiler
 Writers Toolbox, extracts from which are online as teaching notes.

Vector Pascal
\layout Standard

Vector Pascal is a language targeted at SIMD instructionsets such as the
 MMX and the AMD 3d Now.
 It currently supports 
\layout Itemize

the 486, 
\layout Itemize

the Pentium, 
\layout Itemize

the K6 and 
\layout Itemize

the P3 processors.
 
\layout Standard

It supports parallel vector operations, loop unrolling, common sub expression
 removal.
\layout Standard

It is implemented in Java, and class libraries are currently available for
 download.
 It is anticipated that sources will be released in the future.
