Abstract

Scheme86 is a computer system designed to interpret programs written in the Scheme dialect of Lisp. A specialized architecture, coupled with new techniques for optimizing register management in the interpreter, allow Scheme86 to execute interpreted Scheme at a speed comparable to that of compiled Lisp on conventional workstations.
