Qlisp: experience and new directions
Ron G. Goldman, Richard P. Gabriel · 1988
Qlisp, a dialect of Common Lisp, has been proposed as a multiprocessing programming language which is suitable for studying the styles of parallel programming at the medium-grain level. An initial version of Qlisp has been implemented on a multiprocessor and a number of experiments with it conducted. This paper describes the implementation, reports on some of the experiments, and presents some new constructs that are suggested from programming experience with Qlisp.
