The Aquarius Project has, as the fundamental goal of its research,
to establish the principles by which very large improvements in
performance can be achieved in machines specialized for calculating
difficult problems in design automation, expert systems, and
symbolic components.  We are committed to the eventual design of a
very high performance heterogeneous MIMD multiprocessor tailored to
the execution of both numeric and logic calculations.  Currently we
are focusing on an experimental multiprocessor architecture for the
execution of Prolog that wil contain 12 processors specialized for
Prolog, and four others, for a total of 16 processors.
