    LISP Session Chairman: Barbara Liskov Speaker: John McCarthy Discussant: Paul Abrahams PAPER: HISTORY OF LISP John McCarthy 1. Introduction This paper concentrates on the development of the basic ideas and distinguishes two periods--Summer 1956 through Summer 1958, when most of the key ideas were devel- oped (some of which were implemented in the FORTRAN-based FLPL), and Fall 1958 through 1962, when the programming language was implemented and applied to problems of artificial intelligence. After 1962, the development of LISP became multistranded, and different ideas were pursued in different places. Except where I give credit to someone else for an idea or decision, I should be regarded as tentatively claiming credit for it or else regarding it as a consequence of previous deci- sions. However, I have made mistakes about such matters in the past, and I have received very little response to requests for comments on drafts of this paper. It is particularly easy to take as obvious a feature that cost someone else considerable thought long ago. As the writing of this paper approaches its conclusion, I have become aware of additional sources of information and additional areas of uncertainty. As a programming language, LISP is characterized by the following ideas: computing with symbolic expressions rather than numbers, representation of symbolic expressions and other information by list structure in the memory of a computer, representation of in- formation in external media mostly by multilevel lists and sometimes by S-expressions, a small

This free downloadable book is based on and includes materials from http://www.OSdata.com .

This is still a work in progress. Feedback and constructive criticism appreciated (especially feedback from professors who might want to use the finished book). While this book is still being written, professors are free to use specific chapters (or portions of chapters) as class handouts to supplement existing for-profit text books. This same policy will continue to apply after the book is completed, but this policy offers usefulness for many classes right now today even though the book is still incomplete. Poor students should not feel bad about using this book for free. You are exactly who this book is intended to help.

  • A Distributed Execution Engine Supporting Data-Dependent Control flow
    A distributed execution engine supporting data-dependent control flow Derek Gordon Murray University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory King’s College July 2011 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Declaration This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. This dissertation does not exceed the regulation length of 60,000 words, including tables and footnotes. A distributed execution engine supporting data-dependent control flow Derek G. Murray Summary In computer science, data-dependent control flow is the fundamental concept that enables a machine to change its behaviour on the basis of intermediate results. This ability increases the computational power of a machine, because it enables the machine to execute iterative or recursive algorithms. In such algorithms, the amount of work is unbounded a priori, and must be determined by evaluating a fixpoint condition on successive intermediate results. For example, in the von Neumann architecture—upon which almost all modern computers are based—these algorithms can be programmed using a conditional branch instruction. A distributed execution engine is a system that runs on a network of computers, and provides the illusion of a single, reliable machine that provides a large aggregate amount of compu- tational and I/O performance. Although each individual computer in these systems is a von Neumann machine capable of data-dependent control flow, the effective computational power of a distributed execution engine is determined by the expressiveness of the execution model that describes distributed computations.
