Hassan ...
Thank you and many others for their replies to my query.
Your book was mentioned by nearly all respondents. In addition,
the following responses were typical:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: beaumont@compsci.bristol.ac.uk (Tony Beaumont)
Try:
"Memory performance of Prolog Architectures" by Evan Tick
Published by Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1988.
-----------
From: jackg@capella.ece.ucsb.edu (Jack Greenbaum)
Haarsat, A. and Ginosar, R., "CARMEL-2: A Second Generation VLSI
Architecture for Flat Concurrent Prolog", New Generation Computing, July
1990.
Houri, A. and Shapiro, E. "A Sequential Abstract Machine for Flat
Concurrent Prolog", J. Logic Programming 1989:7:85-123
There is some older work on running WAM in micro-code on VAXen and in
silicon on special machines. Look in the proceedings of the International
Conference on Logic Programming, like around 1986.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, Hassan I am ordering your book and hope to use it as a guide to
implementing a subset of the WAM instructions on a little toy I have
handy ... :-)
