Abstract

We show how to speed up the Boyer Benchmark by an order of magnitude (46 X faster than the Cray-1) on a Common Lisp system (80860-based OKIstation) using better programming techniques. The resulting program fits nicely within next generation on-chip caches and kills almost all potential parallelism, thus becoming worthless as a general-purpose Lisp benchmark.
