High-Level Language Architecture for LISP
Steve Krueger (kreuger%home@TI-CSL)
Symbolic Computing Laboratory
Texas Instruments
The TI LISP Machine family utilizes a high-level language architecture
for LISP in order to gain high performance, preserve the full dynamic
behavior of LISP and support software debugging. These processors
support a complex high-level language instruction set for Common LISP (a
rich dialect of LISP) implemented in hardware and microcode. Support
for LISP and the instruction set gives high LISP performance. An
overview and motivation of the HLL instruction set will be given, as
will an overview of TI's LISP architecture.

Mr Krueger is a Sr. Member of Technical Staff in TI Computer Science
Center where his research interests are in computer architecture
and hardware/software interfaces. He is responsible for the
architecture of the Explorer Lisp Machine processor and its
successors. He has been involved in Explorer since early 1983 and has
made contributions to the processor and system architecture, and was
leader of the hardware and software integration team. He also
contributed to the architecture of the single chip Lisp processor
(CLM) and is responsible for an improved instruction set architecture
for Explorer and CLM.
