Abstract

A package has been written for statically analyzing Common Lisp source code programs. The analysis was performed on source code of the implementation of the Common Lisp dialect Spice Lisp and indicated which parts of Lisp are used often and therefore are important to be implemented such that they run fast. Based upon the identification of those parts we sketch the outlines of a three-processor Lisp machine architecture.
