The '''Sort Merge Generator''' was an application developed by [[Betty Holberton]] in 1951 for the [[UNIVAC I|Univac I]] and is one of the first examples of using a computer to create a computer program. The input to the application was a specification of files and the kind of sort and merge operations to use, and the output would be machine code for performing the specification.<ref>{{cite conference |last=Hopper|first=Grace|title=Keynote Address|book-title=Proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN History of Programming Languages (HOPL) conference }}</ref>
