[comp.ai.digest] PROLOG for an IBM 3090 under CMS

STEVE@UKCC.BITNET ("Thomson, Steve") (01/20/88)

    Does any one have direct or indirect knowledge that they would be
willing to share about implementations of PROLOG under CMS?  We would
try to install it on a 3090-300VF under CMS release 5.
    Do any implementations use the vector facility? Have plans to use
parallelism (when it becomes available), extended architecture (ditto)?
    I admit my knowledge on this is bounded above at zero.
                                             Thankyou very much.
                                             STEVE@UKCC.BITNET

We have VMPROLOG on an IBM 3081 under VM/CMS.  It was used by our
collegues that work on natural language analisys.
I did not heard of a version of VMPROLOG using the vector feature of
IBM 3090.
The only languages for which I know this possibility are MPSX and APL2.

as of the fall of '87, Quintus Prolog was delivered as a runtime
library for the MVS/{SP,XA} and VM/370 Rel 4 environments.

This is system independant runtime support such that the compiler
*.text decks from one environment DO NOT require re-compilation
to support the other (given total absence of system dependant
file names).

The product is a cross-compiler, with the Prolog sources existing on
a Sun work-station and the generated objects uploaded and link-edited
with the runtime library supplied.
