Abstract

The Vector C language was designed and implemented on the CDC Cyber 205 at Purdue University by the summer of 1984 [1,2,3]. Some modifications on the language syntax and enhancements in the compiler (mainly, vector descriptors, vector function calls, and vector macros) have been done here at the SCRI of FSU. Although this paper discusses the revisions of the language syntax defined in the previous paper [2], the key features of the Vector C language are also reviewed.
