Abstract
MUSHROOM is aimed at the efficient execution of symbolic processing environments such as Smalltalk-80. The author summarises some aspects of the MUSHROOM architecture and the motivation for its design. Firstly, the problems commonly associated with symbolic processing are described. The issues involved in the MUSHROOM design are discussed and the suitability of the architecture to symbolic processing is outlined
