- Description:
-
- HUProlog is an almost 100 per cent straight implementation of standard
- Edinburgh syntax Prolog as described in Clocksin and Mellish's ``Programming
- in Prolog'' (Springer Verlag) and a host of other works. HU-Prolog is most
- definately NOT a toy Prolog. The authors and myself are all professional AI
- and computer science research workers, and rely on HU-Prolog for a variety
- of large-scale Prolog programming tasks. It is definately one of the fastest
- purely interpreted Prolog's around (the only faster one I know of is the
- Edinburgh NIP implementation). WAM-based compiling Prolog's are faster, but
- at the price of greatly increased memory requirements. Even then ``real
- programs'' as opposed to benchmarks rarely run more than twice as fast.
- Eventually I (or someone else) may port Sicstus or SB Prolog [see a067] for
- RISC-OS, in the meantime HU is as good as it gets.
