OSTI ID:6984117
DIS is an architecture for very fast execution of LISP and other artificial intelligence languages. The DIS architecture uses a number of functional units controlled by a wide (256 bit) instruction. A simulator, compiler,and optimizer were constructed for the DIS architecture. A simulated 100-nanosecond cycle time single-processor DIS machine appears to run LISP on the order of twice as fast as a CRAY-1, and on the order of ten to fifteen times faster than other LISP-directed architectures.
