Abstract
A system and method are provided for enabling an efficient processing environment for a functional programming language runtime machine. Separate processors are provided for the main FP processor and the garbage collector as well as separate access to the heap. The routine maintenance performed by the garbage collector does not compete for resources of the main FP processor. The processor implementation for the main FP processor also includes a separate bus to each of the program memory, the heap, and the stacks.
