| Abstract: | A simple nucleus for a single-processor computer is considered. The entire nucleus program is written in the high-level programming language Modula-21 without assembly coding. The concepts of the nucleus and some simple applications are described. A complete listing of the nucleus is included. We conclude that programming of a nucleus in an appropriate high-level language is simpler than in an assembly language. The resulting nucleus has a comparable performance with other nuclei written in assembly code. |
