Compartmentalized connection graphs for concurrent logic programming. II: Parallelism, indexing and unification

摘要: This report. continues to document the development of a logic programming paradigm with implicit control, based· in a compartmentalized connection graph theorem prover. Whilst the research has as it main goal the development of a language in which programs can be written with much less explicit control than PROLOG and its existing successors, a secondary goal is to exploit the immense parallelism inherent in the connection graph.The focus of this paper is the documentation of the extent of the parallelism inherent in the proof procedure. We characterize six different forms of parallelism These various forms of parallelism can be further classified into two classes: those associated with the performance of resolution steps, and those which are more concerned with unification.
