The characteristics of ccmputational processor requirements of a sample of Algol-60 programs have been measured. Distributions are presented for intervals of processor activity as defined by input-output requests and segment allocation requests occurring within the Johnston contour model and within a stack model in which array allocations are treated separately. The results provide new empirical data concerning the behavior of this class of programs. Some implications of the empirical results
