I'm looking for references to C-oriented architectures. I already know about the AT&T CRISP. I remember a while back that there was a commotion about the (forgive me, but I know I've got this wrong) the RU2000 (or something like that) processor and it's optimizing compiler. Please reply directly! (Thanks) ;-D on (CRAY XM-P/S: bit serial version !-) Pardo

MIPS R2000: look at 3 articles in Proc. IEEE COMPCON, March 86, SanFrancisco. Note the distinction between "C-oriented" and "designed with C in mind, as well as FORTRAN, PASCAL, etc." The R2000 is of the latter class. Most RISCs are at least decent for C, although RISC aficionados argue fiercely on the details. -- -john mashey DISCLAIMER: <generic disclaimer, I speak for me only, etc> UUCP: {ames,decwrl,prls,pyramid}!mips!mash OR mash@mips.com DDD: 408-991-0253 or 408-720-1700, x253 USPS: MIPS Computer Systems, 930 E.
