Types of "Pointer Machines"
Both Gurevich and Ben-Amram list a number of very similar "atomistic" models" of "abstract machines"; Ben-Amram believes that the 6 "atomistic models" must be distinguished from "High-level" models. This article will discuss the following 3 atomistic models in particular:
- Schönhage's Storage Modification Machines (SMM),
- Kolmogorov-Uspenskii Machines (KUM or KU-Machines),
- Knuth's "Linking Automaton"
But Ben-Amram add more:
- Atomistic Pure-LISP Machine (APLM)
- Atomistic Full-LISP machine (AFLM),
- General atomistic Pointer Machines,
- Jone's I Language (two types)

Famous quotes containing the words types of, types, pointer and/or machines:
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.”
—Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Johnson (Reginald Gardner)
“The hardiest skeptic who has seen a horse broken, a pointer trained, or has visited a menagerie or the exhibition of the Industrious Fleas, will not deny the validity of education. “A boy,” says Plato, “is the most vicious of all beasts;” and in the same spirit the old English poet Gascoigne says, “A boy is better unborn than untaught.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In Hell all the messages you ever left on answering machines will be played back to you.”
—Judy Horacek (b. 1961)
