ACT-R the theory is embodied in ACT-R the software, as a set of functions and algorithms implemented in Common Lisp. Since the ACT-R implementation lives in Lisp, the aspiring cognitive modeler must also have access to some Lisp environment, or use the standalone version of the ACT-R Environment.

Atomic operations in Allegro CL 9.0 SMP

Allegro CL 9.0 with SMP is now released and available on Windows, the Mac, and Linux. We will be having a series of Tech Corner articles on using SMP. In this one, we discuss some atomic operations. These are special versions of standard Lisp store or read/modify/store operations which are guaranteed to work in SMP. We will show examples where using the standard operations will fail but the atomic operations will succeed, and give some cautions about what success means. Click here to see the article.
