The Sussex University POPLOG System (version 13.6) runs on Sun-4. It
provides incremental compilers for Prolog, Common Lisp, Pop-11, ML
(optional extra) plus window manager, external_load/unload for C programs,
facilities for libraries and documentation, etc. etc.

The next release will include an X-11 interface (already in use at
Sussex).

If you want to know more about Poplog, ask your colleague, Steve Isard,
who knows it well.

Our experience is that most things in Poplog, apart from integer
multiplication, go between 1.5 and 2.5 times as fast on a Sun4/260 as on a
Sun3/280. A Sun4/260 with 32 Mbytes and two Eagles, used as a multi-access
computer keeps at least 25 simultaneous student users very happy. We have
not yet tried larger numbers.
