We are implementing a Scheme development system for the Motorola 88000. The core of the implementation is an optimizing native code compiler, together with a carefully designed runtime system. This paper describes our experiences with the 88000 as a target architecture. We focus on the design decisions concerning the runtime system, particularly with respect to data type representations, tag checking, procedure calling protocol, generic arithmetic, and the handling of continuations. We also discuss rejected design alternatives, and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the instruction set with respect to our constraints.
