back end processor

基本解释

Working as a back end processor attached to a host machine, LP uses microprograms to interpret directly an intermediate code generated by the host.
LP作为后端机挂接在主机上、以微程序直接解释主机生成的与LISP语义接近的中间码，从而缩小了LP的机器语言与LISP的语义差别。
The QUIT command stops the command line processor, but does not remove the associated back-end process; to do that, you need to issue the TERMINATE command.
QUIT 命令停止命令行处理器，但是不删除关联的后端进程；要删除关联的后端进程，需要发出 TERMINATE 命令。
The potential instruction level parallelism (ILP)of modern processors can only be delivered by compiler- Code generator is a suite of target processor specific optimization in a compilers back-end.
代码生成是编译器后端中直接针对目标处理机的优化阶段的集合，因而它是提高目标处理机指令级并行的重要组成部分。

In particular as we move to the Cloud, software optimization and back-end processing are going to be more important than pure processor grunt.
