  • Low cost first class functions

    Creator:
    Budd, Timothy A.
    Abstract:
    We describe a. new approach to implementing functions as first class values. Using this technique, there is no additional overhead imposed for the most common case, that of non-nested functions bound at compile time. Invoking function values assigned to variables requires two additional instructions. It is only when functions are...

  • A multiprocessor implementation of Little Smalltalk

    Creator:
    Budd, Timothy A. and Raghvendra, Srinivas
    Abstract:
    In this project we have attempted to exploit the parallel programming features of a Sequent Balance multiprocessor to improve the performance of a Smalltalk interpreter. The block construct and the fork message together make Smalltalk a 'natural' parallel programming language. We describe how processes can be created from within the...

  • Linda-Smalltalk : parallel implementation of Little Smalltalk using tuple space communication of Linda

    Creator:
    Chung, Jean H. and Budd, Timothy H.
    Abstract:
    A new technique of implementing the object-oriented language Little Smalltalk is developed using tuple space communication of Linda. In this implementation, the language's abstract constructs such as object, class, and method are naturally mapped into tuple space. Since Linda's tuple space is designed to facilitate parallel processing, this implementation technique...

  • Variables and parameters as references and containers

    Creator:
    Crowl, Lawrence A.
    Abstract:
    Most designers of object-based languages adopt a reference model of variables without explicit justification, despite its wide ranging consequences. This paper argues that the traditional container model of variables is more efficient than the reference model, nearly as flexible, and more appropriate to parallel and distributed systems. The topics addressed...
