Artificial Intelligence is entering the mainstream of com- puter
applications and as techniques are developed and integrated into a
wide variety of areas they are beginning to tax the pro- cessing
power of conventional architectures. To meet this demand,
specialized architectures providing support for the unique features
of symbolic processing languages are emerging. The goal of the
research presented here is to show that an archi- tecture
specialized for Prolog can achieve a ten-fold improve- ment in
performance over conventional, general-purpose architec- tures.
This book presents such an architecture for high perfor- mance
execution of Prolog programs. The architecture is based on the
abstract machine descrip- tion introduced by David H.D. Warren
known as the Warren Abstract Machine (W AM). The execution model of
the W AM is described and extended to provide a complete
Instruction Set Architecture (lSA) for Prolog known as the PLM.
This ISA is then realized in a microarchitecture and finally in a
hardware design. The work described here represents one of the
first efforts to implement the W AM model in hardware. The approach
taken is that of direct implementation of the high level WAM
instruction set in hardware resulting in a elSe style archi-
tecture.
