Title
N-expression implementations for integrated symbolic and numeric processing
Abstract
Despite a growing interest in the integration of the symbolic, and numeric processing, the corresponding language and architecture types are still considered largely incompatible. A most serious incompatibility accrues from the diversity of the data structures they manipulate. In symbolic processing, data structures tend to be complex Symbolic-Expressions scattered through memory. These structures, known as S-Expressions, are implemented by using the binary list and its algebra of programs. In numeric applications the most common data structure is a linearly allocated array or vector. Array processing involves an entirely different algebra of operations, therefore effecting incompatabilities both at the language and architecture levels.
