Abstract

Flat Concurrent Prolog is a simple concurrent programming language which has been used for a variety of non-trivial applications. A compiler based parallel implementation has been completed which operates on an Intel Hypercube. This paper presents a brief summary of performance data from a recent study of the implementation. Three categories of program were studied: parallel applications, uniprocessor benchmarks and communication stereotypes. The latter programs are abstractions of common parallel programming techniques and serve to quantify the cost of communication in the language.
