Abstract

The efficient compilation of functional languages has been shown to be a difficult task. The most successful implementations so far generate code in assembly language. This makes implementation extremely hard and machine dependant. In this paper we present ΓCMC, a new abstract machine, in which we transfer the control of the execution flow to C, as much as possible. ΓCMC takes advantage of the extremely low costs of procedure calls in modern RISC architectures. This produced a substantial improvement in performance, as we show here.
