Title Efficient evaluation of normal order through strictness information
Date 1987-03
Description Normal order functional languages (NOFLs) offer conceptual simplicity, expressive power and attractiveness for parallel execution. In NOFLs expressions are represented in a graphical form and transformed to the final answer using graph transformation rules. Until the G-machine project in Sweden, implementations of NOFLs on von Neumann machines were orders of magnitude slower than those for imperative languages. The central reasons for this poor performance were the high control overhead of demand evaluation and fine object code granularity (e.g. SKI combinators) used in most NOFL implementations.
