[comp.lang.lisp] SPUR architecture: anything on it lately?

lgm@ihlpf.ATT.COM (Mayka) (05/17/89)

Sorry if this posting isn't entirely appropriate for all three
newsgroups...

The November 1986 issue of "Computer" contained an article describing
the Symbolic Processing Using RISCs (SPUR) architecture being
researched at UC-Berkeley.  The SPUR instruction set was basically
RISCy but contained some Lisp (e.g., tagging) and floating-point support.
I haven't seen or heard much more about SPUR since that article.
Anyone have any more recent information?
