Abstract

LOGFLOW is a distributed Prolog implementation running on transputer networks, developed at KFKI-MSZKI. To improve capabilities and the power of LOGFLOW, the system is ported onto workstation-clusters under the name WS-LOGFLOW. The new platform requires modification in the architecture of the system, in token transportation and in the work-distribution. This paper presents the modified architecture of WS-LOGFLOW, the new token distribution scheme and some details of the portation: processes, int ra-node shared-memory communication, inter-node PVM-based message-passing communication.
