Abstract:: This paper surveys sequential and parallel implementation techniques for functional programming languages, as well as optimizations that can improve their performance. Sequential implementations have evolved from simple interpreters to sophisticated super-combinator-based compilers, while most parallel implementations have explored a broad range of techniques. We analyze the purpose and function of...

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science and Budd, Timothy
Abstract:: Functional programming languages, such as Backus' FP, and high level expression oriented languages, such as APL, are examples of programming languages in which the primary method of program construction is the process of composition. In this paper we describe an approach to generating code for languages based on compositions. The...

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science and Budd, Timothy
Abstract:: In an earlier paper we developed an intermediate representation for languages based on composition, and showed how the representation could facilitate generating code for functional languages, such as FP. In this paper we follow the same philosophical approach, using instead the applicative language APL. Further, we show how this intermediate...
