I've been researching Lisp machines for a term paper, and have come across more citations than actual articles. Most full texts I find aren't very good at summarizing the ideas -- for instance, Tom Knight's masters thesis is interesting, but a bit too forest-for-the-trees. One citation of particular interest on account of the author:<p>Graham, Paul<p>Anatomy of a LISP machine<p><i>Artificial Intelligence</i> Volume 37 , Issue 12 (December 1988)<p>Pages: 26 - 32<p>Year of Publication: 1988<p>ISSN:0004-3702<p>Does anyone happen to have the full-text of this? Any other reputable sources you think might be useful for someone reading up on Lisp machines -- particularly the Operating Systems they used, e.g., Genera? (Not in an attempt to offshore research to others; just thought I'd ask in case I missed the obvious classics or, as it would seem from my search thus far, if many sources exist merely as citations that I can't seem to get a hold of.)
I put it online for you at <a href="http://paulgraham.com/lib/paulgraham/lm.tex" rel="nofollow">http://paulgraham.com/lib/paulgraham/lm.tex</a><p>I haven't re-read it, but I don't remember it being particularly good. This was not published in <i>Artificial Intelligence</i>, but in <i>AI Expert</i>, a popular magazine I wrote articles for to make a little extra money in grad school.
