....compilation and optimisation techniques are required to minimise such copying. While graph reduction is the natural model for functional language implementation, it corresponds poorly to classic von Neumann architectures and hence to imperative languages. In contrast, the SECD machine approach (Landin, 1964) is based on von Neumann architectures. Here, name value associations are held explicitly in environments with attendant problems of access and storage management, particularly for closures. However, the SECD machine s close correspondence to the von Neumann architecture suits it well as a basis ....
