Title
The design of an instruction set for common LISP
Abstract
The design of a microcoded instruction set for executing Common Lisp is presented. The influence that the language design, the machine, and the operating system had on this design is described. A statistical analysis of object code for an earlier instruction set was used to assign specific instruction lengths that led to a significant compression of the object code.
