Below is a list of references to what I consider to be interesting stack architectures. Thanks to all who responded. Implemented Machines: --------------------- Burroughs B5000 etc. "Twenty Years of Burroughs High-Level Language Machines", E. D. Earnest, Proceedings of the International Workshop on High-Level Language Architecture, June 1980, p 64. Harris FORCE "FORTH Processor Core for Integrated 16-Bit Systems", Danile and Malinowski, VLSI System Design, JUN 87. HP3000 "The HP3000", Bartlett, Proceedings of the ACM-IEEE symposium on HLL Architectures, 1973, p 61. Inmos Transputer "The Transputer", Whitby-Strevens, 12th Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture, 1985, p 292. John's Hopkins/APL 32-bit Forth Processor "An Architecture for the Direct Execution of the Forth Programming Language", Hayes et al., Proceedings of ASPLOS II, 1987. KDF.9 (English Electric Co.)

WISC CPU/32 "Writable Instruction Set, Stack Oriented Computers: The WISC Concept", Koopman, Proceedings of the 1987 Rochester Forth Conference, Journal of Forth Applications and Research. Also, there have been several Forth hardware machines implemented (usually with AMD 2901 components). And several standard microprocessors (such as the 6502 and Z80) modified to run Forth, usually with a ROM chip set. Theoretical stack machines & Academic exercises: ------------------------------------------------ "A Reduced High-Level-Language Instruction Set", Schulthess, IEEE Micro, JUN 84, p 55. "The design and implementation of a small scale stack processor system", Lutz, AFIPS NCC, 1973, vol 42, p 545. "Socrates", Foster, 2nd Annual Symposium on Computer Architecture, 1975, p 165 A good discussion of stack architectures may be found in the May, 1977 issue of Computer (special issue on stack architectures.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Phil Koopman 5551 Beacon St. ~ ~ Pittsburgh, PA 15217 ~ ~ koopman@faraday.ece.cmu.edu (preferred address) ~ ~ koopman@a.gp.cs.cmu.edu ~ ~ ~ ~ Disclaimer: I'm a PhD student at CMU, and I do some ~ ~ work for WISC Technologies. ~ ~ (No one listens to me anyway!) ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
