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。

When a new processor appears, its success depends on a version of GCC that will support it (a back end that can generate code for it).

当一种新的处理器出现时，它的成功取决于支持它的GCC版本(可以为它生成代码的后端)。

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。

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