    • Scheme 86: An Architecture for Microcoding a Scheme Interpreter 

      Wu, Henry M. (1988-08-01)
      I describe the design and implementation plans for a computer that is optimized as a microcoded interpreter for Scheme. The computer executes SCode, a typed-pointer representation. The memory system has low-latency as ...
    • Parallel Solutions to Geometric Problems on the Scan Model of Computation 

      Blelloch, Guy E.; Little, James J. (1988-02-01)
      This paper describes several parallel algorithms that solve geometric problems. The algorithms are based on a vector model of computation---the scan-model. The purpose of this paper is both to show how the model can ...
    • Comparative Analysis 

      Weld, Daniel S. (1987-11-01)
      Comparative analysis is the problem of predicting how a system will react to perturbations in its parameters, and why. For example, comparative analysis could be asked to explain why the period of an oscillating ...
