The York Abstract Machine
Greg Manning, Detlef Plump · Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science · 2008
We introduce the York Abstract Machine (YAM) for implementing the graph programming language GP and, potentially, other graph transformation languages. The advantages of an abstract machine over a direct interpreter for graph transformation rules are better efficiency, use as a common target for compiling both future versions of GP and other languages, and portability of GP programs to different platforms.
