FORTRAN II did have the computed goto but the three way branch was the 
arithmetic IF.

FORTRAN has several test and GOTO variations as the language evolved


1) arithmetic if

citing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_IF
    IF (expression) negative,zero,positive

example:
    if (foo - bar) 100,200,300


2) The "computed goto" is FORTRAN's idea of a 'switch' statement,
complete with drop-thru from case to case!

citing https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/805-4939/6j4m0vn9l/index.html

    GO TO ( 10, 20, 30, 40 ), N
C  drop thru for N<1 or N > 4
       ...
10   CONTINUE
       ...
20   CONTINUE
       ...
30   CONTINUE
       ...
40   CONTINUE


3) assigned goto (precursor to setjmp/longjump?)

citing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goto
    Fortran also had an assigned goto variant
    that transfers control to a statement label (line number)
    which is stored in (assigned to) an integer variable.

    assign 200 to i
	...
    goto i


4) and at long last, the logical IF
    if (i .gt. 5) i=5

Right, but it's off-topic for Fortran II. The additional forms
started with Fortran IV.

	With a compiler that permitted returning the assigned label via
parameters in subroutine call, this permitted implementation of coroutines
with a master. My manuals are in storage, so I can't provide the full
syntax. Essentially, the subroutine would perform an ASSIGN for where it
should continue on the next invocation, and return that to the master which
could then save it in an array or whatever, and move on to the next
subroutine, providing its last saved continuation point.

(digs out PLAN programming card from March 1965)

TXU (026) and TXL (027) look like comparison instructions to me.

The machines aimed at doing real-time processing in addition to
timeshating, batch etc.  Except for the 360/44 IBM never (afaik) pursued
this market for System/360 (computers from 1710 thru 1800 and System/7 were
aimed there) Sigmas had multiple register banks so that you could have one
dedicated to the OS, one for background, and still dedicate some to
real-time tasks.

I never played much with the "meta" features of Meta-symbol.  Off-topic I
discovered that SDS originated Meta-symbol on 9-Series machines.

That's the tip of the iceberg.
What was the I/O hierarchy?
The 360 used channel controllers to device controllers,
a far cry from each device going direct to the main bus.


The Z80 (in interrupt mode 2: native chip support)
received a 7 bit interrupt vector from the interrupting device,
thus 128 vectors.
But many chips generated multiple interrupts.
A dual serial chip used the lowest 3 bits for "status alters vector":
- one bit for channel A or B
- 2 bits for receive, transmit, status or other change
so that means there's really only 4 unique bits per interface chip
for a maximum of 16.

I'm not up on that part of the 360/370
but I thought the "sense interrupt"
gave a status word on who interrupted.

I'm more familiar with the IBM 1130.
There were 6 vectored interrupts
but each interrupt supports a 16 bit register for sharing it among devices.
XIO "sense interrupt" loaded the per-interrupt status word:
each device set its assigned bit if it wanted attention.
The bit order determined the relative priority of devices
at the same interrupt level.
Very deterministic and quick. No polling or searching.

The "shift left and count" instruction quickly located the
most significant bit set in the status word.
No need to test bit by bit.
Kinda like a software priority encoder.
Intel now has LZCNT: Count the Number of Leading Zero Bits
which is a C/C++ Compiler Intrinsic!
And the older Intel instructions BSF and BSR - Bit Scan Forward/Reverse.

I vaguely recall the 360 having PSWs for handling interrupts,
unsure about alternate register sets.

	Sigma: four-bank, four-port, interleaved memory, allowed CPU and three
I/O Processors to chase each other through memory. IOPs came in two types
SIOP and MIOP (it's been too long, I don't recall if SIOPs were used with
tape-drives, and MIOPs with disks and other random devices)

	It's still a case of determining what really generated the interrupt --
from within the interrupt handler, and then dispatching to the correct
sub-handler.

360/370 had svc, i/o, program, external/timer, machine-check interrupts
... loaded new psw (instruction address) from low store at same time as
storing old psw (interrupted instruction address). interrupts stored
information about the interrupt, in the case of i/o interrupt, it stored
the interrupting device address (channel, controller, device) and the
status (channel status word).

old ios3270 version of "green card" that I did q&d convert to html

low store layout for interrupting, old/new psw, csw, etc
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/gcard.html#4

channel status word (for i/o interrupt)
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/gcard.html#6

certain kinds of remote terminals had several termainals connected to
single device address/port/line ... so there was additional work to find
out which of several remote terminals ... sharing same line ... was
responsible.

note that 360/370 interrupts didn't save/restore registers ... so there
was standard interrupt handlers to store registers of the interrupted
process and load registers for the interrupt handler.

FWIW, my green card and my flowcharting template are both in my Struble

Struble again just to get back up to speed.

re:
http://manana.garlic.com/~lynn/2016d.html#93 Is it a lost cause?

closer to the sigma was series/1. the series/1 peachtree processor
was significant more capable than what was selected for the 37x5
communication controllers. early 70s, the science center ...
some past posts
http://manana.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#545tech 

strongly lobbied the communication group to choose the preachtree
processor for the 3705 (rather than the processor they were designing)
... and lost.

the folklore is that the official series/1 RPS system had been done by
some former kingston os/360 MFT people that moved to boca and tried to
reimplement os/360 MFT ... which wasn't good match for the series/1. The
folklore for the alternative EDX system was originally done by some
summer co-op students at IBM San Jose Research physics lab.

Late 70s, early 80s, one of the baby bells did a 37x5/NCP emulator on
series/1 .... the encapsulated SNA RUs in real network, emulated SNA
sessions as "cross domain" (i.e. VTAM emulation with
no-single-point-of-failue session management out in distributed
series/1). Mid-80s, I got sucked into turning it into type-1 product.
We tried to put in brickwalls anticipating the corporate dirty tricks
that the communication group was well known for. What the communication
group then did can only be described as truth is stranger than fiction.

Old post with part of presentation that I gave in Raleigh at SNA
architecture review board meeting

'86 common user group meeting

continue the lost cause theme ... periodically repeated, in the late
80s, a senior disk engineer got a talk scheduled at the world-wide,
internal-only, annual, communication group conference, supposedly on
3174 performance ... but opened the talk with the statement that the
communication group was going to be responsible for the demise of the
disk division. The issue was that the communication group had corporate
strategic "ownership" of everything that crossed datacenter walls and
they were strongly fighting off client/server and distributed computing
trying to preserve their (emulated) dumb termina paradigm and install
base. The disk division was seeing data fleeing the datacenter to more
distributed computing platforms with drop in disk sales. The disk
division had come up with a number of solutions to address the problem,
but they were constantly vetoed by the disk division. some past posts
http://manana.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#terminal

a few short years later, the company goes into the red and was being
reorged into the 13 "baby blues" ... in preparation for breaking up the
company.

That was true only of the 1901..1903 processors.
More powerful processors had flip flop registers,
but still addressable as words 0..8, rather like thePDP 10.

Exactly. And I suspect the PC was flip flop based in all machines.

execute MVC for a variable number of bytes

After using a 32 bit machine (IBM 360),
I found Z80 weak and tedious to program in assembler :-/
"C" to the rescue!


Years later, I finally used a 68000 based trainer in assembler.
Bliss!

For better or for worse, the VAX had a *very* rich instruction set. 
Probably the richest ever.

And it had proper direct 32 bit adsdressing, although of course memory 
was cheaper by then.

I REALLY, REALLY miss Execute on x86.

Which are nothing alike.  OTOH x86 can be clean today if you confine
yourself to a subset of instructions.

Execute is the lightest model of self-modifying code, which
is a least a bad habit, if not a clear no-no.

It was no accident that execute was not included in x86's. The
main need for it was in variable-port I/O, and it was corrected
by having I/O addressed via DX.

Agreed, but it got into early COBOL as the ALTER ... TO PROCEED TO ... 
statement. IMO its the worst misfeature that ever got into a high level 
language. I've seen it used in the past about once, in the worst-written 
system I've ever had the misfortune to see. Apart from ALTER statements 
it had:

- meaningless data names (all records and fields over 4 tape files called 
  MTnn where nn incremented in each successive line) and so on for 
  CFnn (cards), LPnn (line printer) and WSnn (working storage).

- no sections in PROCEDURE DIVISION, only paragraphs which all had 5
  digit numeric names, but not in any detectable sequence or meaningful
  order.

The outfit I worked for had unfortunately bought it. It was immediately 
scrapped when  we saw the code and we wrote an equivalent but much better 
system from scratch, but I digress....

ALTER was declared obsolete in COBOL 1985 and removed from the 
specification in 2002 but apparently is still supported by some compilers.

Sounds fun.

Do you mean you could permanently alter a goto statement as it were?
