Improving the performance of interpretive hierarchies by the introduction of local hardware

Abstract

This paper introduces the notion of improving the performance of interpretive hierarchies by filtering out trivial operations at the highest possible level of the hierarchy and executing them by hardware local to that level. The technique can be used either with microprocessors or a set of identical general purpose hardware modules together with tables specifying the details of the specific interpreters.
