SECD machine
The SECD machine is a highly influential (see: ) virtual machine and abstract machine intended as a target for functional programming language compilers. The letters stand for Stack, Environment, Cont
Abstract machine
An abstract machine is a computer science theoretical model that allows for a detailed and precise analysis of how a computer system functions. It is analogous to a mathematical function in that it re
Warren Abstract Machine
In 1983, David H. D. Warren designed an abstract machine for the execution of Prolog consisting of a memory architecture and an instruction set. This design became known as the Warren Abstract Machine
Architecture Neutral Distribution Format
The Architecture Neutral Distribution Format (ANDF) in computing is a technology allowing common "shrink wrapped" binary application programs to be distributed for use on conformant Unix systems, tran
Turing machine
A Turing machine is a mathematical model of computation describing an abstract machine that manipulates symbols on a strip of tape according to a table of rules. Despite the model's simplicity, it is
Krivine machine
In theoretical computer science, the Krivine machine is an abstract machine (sometimes called virtual machine). As an abstract machine, it shares features with Turing machines and the SECD machine. Th
CEK Machine
A CEK Machine is an abstract machine invented by Matthias Felleisen and Daniel P. Friedman. It is generally implemented as an interpreter for functional programming languages, but can also be used to
