I'd love if a reading list like that existed. I might ask around for something.

In the meantime, I'd check out some of Henry Baker's old papers

Like how to use stack allocation in a lisp: https://web.archive.org/web/20191231120254/http://home.pipeline.com/~hbaker1/LazyAlloc.html

And this one on what's a minimal core language that you can reliably make a simple, efficient, portable system: https://web.archive.org/web/20191008085100/http://home.pipeline.com/~hbaker1/CritLisp.html

@zzz those are great, you can see a collection of them here: https://plover.com/~mjd/misc/hbaker-archive/

A reading list? You mean you'd like to have a complement readings to the MIT lab memos? I can put together a sort of crash course on lisp machine architecture this summer.

@neauoire

There are so many papers published over the years. Something that's just here is the 20 papers you should read on lisp machine architecture / modern architecture would be awesome

@zzz top of the list would be the 528 lab memo, then maybe 514
