Abstract

An implementation of Cambridge LISP for a Motorola 68000 based computer is described, and the implementation of the algebra system REDUCE hosted by it is considered. The resulting systems are compared against mainframes and a minicomputer running LISP and REDUCE. The assertion of this work is that a new style of personal algebra computer is now possible, which is both fast and reasonably priced, and as such provides a cheaper base system for algebra research than mainframes or LISP hardware.
