  • Abstract
    The Fortran I compiler was the first demonstration that it is possible to automatically generate efficient machine code from high-level languages. It has thus been enormously influential. The article presents a brief description of the techniques used in the Fortran I compiler for the parsing of expressions, loop optimization, and register allocation
