PALASM is an earlyhardware description language, used to translate Boolean functions and state transition tables into a fuse map for use withProgrammable Array Logic (PAL) devices introduced byMonolithic Memories, Inc. (MMI). The language was developed byJohn Birkner in the early 1980s. It is not case-sensitive.
The PALASM compiler was written by MMI in FORTRAN IV on anIBM 370/168. MMI made the source code available to users at no cost. By 1983, MMI customers ran versions on theDECPDP-11,Data General NOVA,Hewlett-PackardHP 2100,MDS800 and others. A widely used MS-DOS port was produced by MMI.[1] There was a Windows front-end written sometime later.[2]
