[comp.ai] Wanted: Benchmarking Production Systems

rsr@wvucsb.UUCP (04/10/87)

Has anybody seen any benchmark or comparative study of the various production
system engines?  I am specifically interested in information regarding:

* the implementation language/environment (lisp/ops5/loops/psrl/kee/emycin...)
* the benchmark program
* the number of rules they fire/minute,
* the size and complexity of the rules that were employed,
* the size and complexity of the knowledge-base that was employed,
* the match algorithm employed by the system (Rete...) as well as 
  its speed/limitations.

I am aware that CMU's Anoop Gupta did quite a bit of comparasion studies;
however they were primarily on CMU systems employing OPS5.  I'd like to hear
from other researchers/users in the field.

Please E-mail directly to me. If there is sufficient interest/response
I'll post a summary.
