- Kind Reader,
-
- we have implemented a compiler which translates term rewriting systems
- into C. In order to get insight into the efficiency of the generated code
- we are creating a suite of benchmarks in several related languages, such
- as prolog. For this purpose we need a fast implementation of prolog,
- preferably public domain, and somewhat widely used. From a limited test,
- we established that SBProlog is not suitable; it ran more than three
- times as slow as Quitus (on that example). Quintus is no longer accessible
- to us. Our questions are:
-
- - Who knows a faster ftp-able public domain prolog implementation
- - Is there a commercial prolog available to us for this purpose
- (preferable here at cwi)
-
- In gratitude,
-
- Pum Walters and Jasper Kamperman
