One system which uses this is ACK, the Amsterdam Compiler Kit. It
has a set of Front Ends which generate EM instructions. EM is the machine
language of a ficticious Extended von-Neumann machine. (no, I don't know
where they got the M from either!)


The ACK system provides both interpreters and translators for the
EM code.
