    Abstract: This disclosure relates to an information processing system adapted to implement functions common to many higher level programming languages which functions require information structures to be variable in length and size. Each processor in this multiprocessing system contains various structure buffers to manage different process or program structures that are nested to provide a hierarchy of processes and subprocesses. The structure buffers include resource stack buffers that reference resources available to a currently allocated process including a description of that process environment that in turn references control information for currently executed routines. Buffers are also provided to the various process name stacks that describe parameters and operands required and also for the value stacks which hold such operands. The structure buffers are addressed through an associative memory to allow for the searching of the buffers for often used entries.
