Liczba mnoga: UCSD p-systems
A portable operating system and development environment that was developed by Kenneth Bowles at the University of California at San Diego. The system was based on a simulated, 16-bit, stack-oriented pseudomachine. The development environment included a text editor and compilers for several languages, such as FORTRAN and Pascal. Programs written for a p-system were more portable than programs compiled to machine language. See also bytecode, pseudomachine, p-system, virtual machine.
