Title :
The design of a processor architecture capable of forward and reverse execution
Author_Institution :
Dept. of Comput. Sci., Hampton Univ., VA, USA
Abstract :
An approach to reversibility at the machine language level is discussed. The focus is upon instruction set design and associated machine language programming techniques. Sample programs run on a simulator developed as proof of concept for a reversible system demonstrate the viability of reversible programs and possible application areas
