[net.lang.prolog] definiton of LIPS

nam@allegra.UUCP (Nam Sung Woo) (06/22/84)

What is the definition of the LIPS (Logical Inferences Per Second) ?
Does it mean the number of unifications that can be done in a second ?
Or, does it mean the number of rule evaluations in a second ?
In the latter case, is there any assumption about the
number of literals in a rule ?
