Can somebody give me a pointer to a reference to the ISP language? From what I understand it is a high-level processor specification/simulation language developed at Carnegie-Mellon University. I just got some literature about Endot's (Zycad's) N.2 ISP' compiler/simulator and I'd like to get a third-party opinion of the language. Thanks in advance. -- Thomas H.

The books by Bell and Newell and later Siewiorek contain numerous examples
of the notation. The titles are "Computer Structures ..." and the second
book (Siewiorek, Bell and Newell) is not as much a new edition of the
original (Bell and Newell) as a continuation. The first book described
the great machines up through 1970 or so, using ISP for all the major
examples, and the second provided similar coverage of the 1970's. Now,
we need a similar description of the great architectures of the 1980's.
