Abstract
This paper surveys the field of memory management techniques suitable
for use in the LISP language and identifies those techniques most
suited to LISP in the context of small, real memory workstations
using stock CPU's. The best performing techniques include pointer
reversal, phantom stacks, CDR-encoding and a hybrid incrementally
compacting collector.
