Abstract

An effective resolution multiprocessor can be built from distributed processing, logic programming, and interface elements. Widely used, portable, components can be modularly composed into a portable parallel system that displays good resistance to premature obsolescence by software evolution. A virtual multiprocessor offering common message passing and configuration services integrates a distributed mesh of sequential resolution engines. Users configure and control the resolution engines and virtual multiprocessor through a GUI using an embedded command language to drive its facilities. Prolog programs either explicitly control parallel execution through message passing or would have to rely on program transformation techniques to extract parallelism implicitly.
