Abstract

We show how to speed up the Gabriel 'Triangle' Benchmark by more than two orders of magnitude (206 X faster than the Cray-1) on a Common Lisp system running on the 80860-based OKIstation, by 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.
