2. Compiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler

   Program execution. In computing, a compiler is a computer program that translates computer code written in one programming language (the source language) into another language (the target language). The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a low-level programming ...

3. Translator (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translator_(computing)

   t. e. A translator or programming language processor is a computer program that converts the programming instructions written in human convenient form into machine language codes that the computers understand and process. It is a generic term that can refer to a compiler, assembler, or interpreter —anything that converts code from one ...

   PostScript is a page description language run in an interpreter to generate an image. [ 6 ] It can handle graphics and has standard features of programming languages such as branching and looping. [ 6 ] PDF is a subset of PostScript, simplified to remove such control flow features, while graphics commands remain.

   Backus–Naur form. In computer science, Backus–Naur form (/ ˌbækəs ˈnaʊər /) (BNF or Backus normal form) is a notation used to describe the syntax of programming languages or other formal languages. It was developed by John Backus and Peter Naur. BNF can be described as a metasyntax notation for context-free grammars.

6. MMIX - Wikipedia

   MMIX. MMIX (pronounced em-mix) is a 64-bit reduced instruction set computing (RISC) architecture designed by Donald Knuth, with significant contributions by John L. Hennessy (who contributed to the design of the MIPS architecture) and Richard L. Sites (who was an architect of the Alpha architecture). Knuth has said that,

7. Fortran - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortran

   The first Fortran compiler set a high standard of efficiency for compiled code. This goal made it difficult to create a compiler so it was usually done by the computer manufacturers to support hardware sales. This left an important niche: compilers that were fast and provided good diagnostics for the programmer (often a student).
