A Modular Design for the Common Language Runtime (CLR) Architecture

Abstract. This paper provides a modular high-level design of the Common Language Runtime (CLR) architecture. Our design is given in terms act State Machines (ASMs) and takes the form of an interpreter. We describe the CLR as a hierarchy of eight submachines, which correspond to eight submodules into which the Common Intermediate Language (CIL) instruction set can be decomposed.
