Language directed computer design

Published: 14 November 1967 Publication History

Abstract

It is an accident that digital computers are organized like desk calculators--with somewhat worse luck we might have taken the Turing machine as our model. And someone would have been unenlightened enough to prove that, under certain (actually untrue) assumptions, it made no difference. All general purpose machines can compute the same functions, given sufficient time.
