A parallel inference machine based on the dataflow model and the mechanisms to support two types of logic programming languages are presented. ~he machine is constructed from multiple processing elements and structure memories interconnected through a low-latency hierarchical network. ~he preliminary evaluation results of the experimental machine are also presented. The evaluation results show that the machine can exploit parallelism in programs.The authors are investigating the Parallel Inference Machine based cn the Dataflow model (PIM-D) and the mechanisms to support the parallel logic programming languages. The main features of the PIM-D are listed below.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
