PALASM
PALASM design of a 4-bit counter
PALASM is an early hardware description language, used to translate Boolean functions and state transition tables into a fuse map for use with Programmable Array Logic (PAL) devices introduced by Monolithic Memories, Inc. The language was developed by John Birkner in the early 1980s. It is not case-sensitive.
The PALASM compiler was written by MMI in FORTRAN IV on an IBM 370/168. MMI made the source code available to users at no cost. By 1983, MMI customers ran versions on the DEC PDP-11, Data General NOVA, Hewlett-Packard HP 2100, MDS800 and others. A widely used MS DOS port was produced by MMI.[1] There was a windows front-end written sometime latter.[2]
