A graph reduction machine is a special-purpose computer built to perform combinator calculations by graph reduction.
Examples include the SKIM ("S-K-I machine") computer, built at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory,cite-ref-1[1] the multiprocessor GRIP ("Graph Reduction In Parallel") computer, built at University College London,cite-ref-2[2]cite-ref-3[3] and the Reduceron, which was implemented on an FPGA with the single purpose of executing Haskell.cite-ref-4[4]cite-ref-5[5]
