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)
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
“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)
“Gee, I wish we had one of them doomsday machines things.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
