    ABSTRACT:: Directly Executed Language (DEL) architectures are derived
               from idealized representations of high-level languages. DEL
               architectures show dramatic reduction in the number of
               instructions and memory references executed when compared to
               traditional architectures, offering the design considerations
               for the data buffer in a DEL microprocessor. Simulation
               techniques were used to evaluate the performance of different
               sized buffers for a set of Pascal test programs. The results
               show that a buffer with 256 words typically faults on less
               than 5% of storage allocations.
