LISP Machine including user guides from 1980 and 1981

An early and important pioneering computer in the history of artificial intelligence.

CADR Lisp, developed by MIT's AI Lab in the 1970s, was a dialect of Lisp specifically designed for use on the CADR (CAll-Directed Register machine) computer. It incorporated advanced features like native support for parallel processing and efficient memory management techniques, making it well-suited for complex symbolic computation tasks. CADR Lisp contributed significantly to the field of artificial intelligence and symbolic computation, influencing subsequent developments in programming languages and computational methodologies.
