I have completed porting SB-Prolog to the Amiga. This is an academic-class Prolog interpreter implementing a WAM (Warren Abstract Machine) simulator. On my 68010 A1000, the interpreter operates at over 1000 LIPS (logical interences per second), and the compiler can produce WAM byte code which the simulator can run at over 3600 LIPS. I need some beta-testers who have Amigas and understand Prolog. I don't know the language well enough myself to know whether this thing is truly useable, or is more of a toy. The bulk of SB-Prolog is written in Prolog, and I have run the compiler (great chunks of code) without incident. I have also tried individual experiments, and everything seems to function OK. This thing is a memory pig, requiring 75K to load, and 2 contiguous 300K (by default) globs of core to run in. It occasionally can't find a way to run in my 2.5 Megs. If you have only a Meg (like an A500), then maybe you would like to try, and report to me if 1 meg is enough to do useful work. 512K simply ain't enough, sorry. Send me MAIL telling me of your Amiga and Prolog expertise and let me know how I should send it. (over 800K) -scott
