This paper describes recent work to refine the instruction set of the Mesa processor. Mesa 8 is a high level systems implementation language developed at Xerox PARC during the middle 1970's. Typical systems written in Mesa are large collections of programs running on single-user machines. For this reason, a major design goal of the project has been to generate compact object programs.
