Abstract :
The Linn Rekursiv is an object-oriented computer. An implementation of the persistent programming language PS-algol has been developed for it. Experiences with this implementation have shown certain drawbacks of its modified Harvard architecture for the implementation of persistent object-oriented languages. The general problems of implementing such languages and how the Rekursiv is intended to help are discussed. Data are presented on the relative performances of the Rekursiv and other processors executing PS-algol in 3 areas: procedure calls, list processing and array access, and conclusions are drawn as to which are the more and less valuable features of its architecture
