BrouHaHa is a portable implementation of the Smalltalk-80 virtual machine interpreter. It is a
more efficient redesign of the standard Smalltalk specification, and is tailored to suit
conventional 32 bit microprocessors. This paper presents the major design changes and
optimization techniques used in the BrouHaHa interpreter. The interpreter runs at 30% of the
speed of the Dorado on a Sun 3/160 workstation. The implementation is portable because it
is written in C.
