Motorola Mc68020 Language set
Silicon Valley Software (SVS) has integrated its Native Mode
Language Set with the Motorola MC68020 microprocessor family.
Motorola provided early versions of the MC68020 chip set,
including the MC68881 floating point co-processor, built into a
full 32 bit prototype system running a demonstration version of
the System V UNIX operating system ported by UniSoft, and SVS
ported its Languages to this environment.
The Motorola demonstration system ran at 12 1/2 MHz, had a 32 bit
wide memory bus and an average of 3 wait states and yielded
760,000 Whetstones in a test run using the SVS FORTRAN. Scaling
to the new 16 MHz parts, not available at the time of the tests,
indicates that the MC68020 chip set using the SVS Languages will
yield results of approximately 1,000,000 Whetstones. At the same
time, the software/hardware combination fully supports IEEE
standard Floating Point compatibility.
The SVS Language Set consists of:
SVS FORTRAN, a full ANSI standard, GSA Certifiable product
with significant language extensions. Includes the SVS Symbolic
Debugger;
SVS Pascal, a full ANSI Standard package containing IEEE
Floating Point - Single and Double Precision, with most UCSD
extensions. Includes the SVS Symbolic Debugger;
SVS BASIC-PLUS, a DEC dialect BASIC with Integer, String,
and IEEE Double Precision Variables, Vector and Matrix
Arithmetic, String Arithmetic, Extended I/O - including GET, PUT,
Multi-line Functions, Renumber, Trace and Chain Commands.
SVS "C", a version of the Common "C" dialect as defined by
Kernighan and Ritchie with extensions making it useful for
applications development and rehosting programs for improved
efficiency. Contains IEEE Floating Point - Double Precision with
Single Precision option. Includes the SVS Symbolic Debugger.
The basic technology makes use of the Glanville/Graham code
generation techniques.
The SVS Language Set for Motorola MC68020 based microcomputers is
available now in UNIX environments and can be ported to run under
most operating environments including UNIX tm (all versions),
XENIX tm, UniPlus+ tm, UNOS tm, CROMIX tm, Regulus tm, other UNIX
lookalikes, as well as operating systems such as CP/M68K tm.
