Processes
Processes Developments in software embrace very high level languages such as FP and Prolog . These languages tend to make use of a declarative programming fashion as opposed to theimperative fashion of Pascal, C, FORTRAN, et al. In a declarative style, a programmer provides a mathematical specification of what ought to be computed, leaving many particulars of how it should be computed to the compiler and/or runtime system. These languages aren't but in extensive use, however are very promising as notations for packages that may run on massively parallel computers . Compilers for established languages began to make use of subtle optimization techniques to improve code, and compilers for vector processors were able to vectorize easy loops . The first ICs were based on small-scale integration circuits, which had around 10 gadgets per circuit (or ``chip''), and advanced to using medium-scale integrated circuits, which had as much as 100 units per chip.
