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:
“... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“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)
“Shoes are the first adult machines we are given to master.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
