Compiling Lisp for evaluation on a tightly coupled multiprocessor

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7008110
The problem of compiling Lisp for efficient evaluation on a large, tightly coupled, shared memory multiprocessor is investigated. A representation for s-expressions which facilitates parallel evaluation is proposed, along with a sequence of transformations, to be applied to the functions comprising a Lisp program, which reveal and exploit parallelism. 26 refs., 170 figs.
