Instruction sequences for computer science.

From MaRDI portal





This book concerns instruction sequences, the behaviours produced by instruction sequences under execution the interaction between these behaviours and components of the execution environment concerning the processing of instructions, the expressiveness of instruction sequences, and various issues relating to well-known subjects from computer science. Most of the issues in question are of a computation-theoretic or computer-architectural kind. They relate to subjects such as the halting problem, non-uniform computational complexity, instruction sequence performance and instruction set architecture. Some of the issues considered are somehow related to process algebra, namely remote instruction processing and instruction sequence producible processes. Some variations on instruction sequences of the usual kind, such as instruction sequences without a directional bias and probabilistic instruction sequences, are also considered.NEWLINENEWLINE This book is primarily intended for researchers in computer science interested in instruction sequences as a theme in computer science. It is also meant to be suitable as supplementary reading in courses for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students in computer science.
