QLISP for Parallel Processors

Abstract

The goal of the Qlisp project at Stanford is to gain experience with the shared-memory, queue-based approach to parallel Lisp, by implementing the Qlisp language on an actual multiprocessor, and by developing a symbolic algebra system as a testbed application. The experiments performed on the simulator included: 1. Algorithms for sorting and basic data structure manipulation for polynomials. 2. Partitioning and scheduling methods for parallel programming. 3. Parallelizing the production rule system OPS5. Computer programs.
