Performance testing in LOGFLOW
نویسندگان
چکیده
LOGFLOW is a distributed Prolog implementation on a transputer network. Evaluating a distributed system causes a number of theoretical and practical problems. In this paper, a monitoring tool is described which was designed and implemented to tackle with several problems of distributed performance testing. Some improvements are also introduced which were made in LOGFLOW based on the results of the monitoring tool.

Granularity Control in the Logflow Parallel Prolog System
LOGFLOW is a parallel Prolog implementation for massively parallel distributed memory systems. The LOGFLOW execution mechanism combines a very fine-grain data driven scheme and the well-known coarse-grain WAM-based scheme. The LOGFLOW compiler generates two code versions for each Prolog program: 3DPAM (Distributed Data Driven Prolog Abstract Machine) code and WAM code. The Granularity Controlle...
متن کاملMOGUL: A Graphical Environment for Developing the LOGFLOW Parallel Prolog System
The paper describes the MOGUL graphical environment. MOGUL is applied in the design and development of the LOGFLOW parallel Prolog system which exploits inherent ORand pipeline AND-parallelism of Prolog programs. It helps with editing, compiling and executing Prolog programs. It supports graphically the mapping of a sequential and a parallel Prolog engines to physical processors, the animation ...
متن کاملAnalysis and Improvement of the Variable Binding Scheme in LOGFLOW*
The handling of variables is a crucial issue in designing a parallel Prolog system. The so called closed binding environment is an excellent candidate for a binding scheme in a distributed system, however, it has several weaknesses when the computation is not migrating. In this paper the closed binding method is analysed, a possible modification is introduced and the implementation and performa...
متن کاملExtending LOGFLOW with Parallel Relational Database Operations
LOGFLOW is a parallel Prolog system. It is similar to recent parallel database systems concerning its dataflow execution model and its capability of running on shared–nothing architectures. The similarities between LOGFLOW and parallel database systems show that a new database system can be developed based on LOGFLOW in that both relational and deductive queries can be executed. In this paper w...
متن کاملTools for Mapping, Load Balancing and Monitoring in the LOGFLOW Parallel Prolog Project
LOGFLOW is an all-solution parallel logic programming system able to exploit OR-parallelism and pipeline AND-parallelism of Prolog programs. The LOGFLOW project is intended to implement Prolog in massively parallel distributed memory multicomputers. Porting LOGFLOW to a workstation cluster resulted in a variant of LOGFLOW called WS-LOGFLOW. Implementation of LOGFLOW both on multi-transputers an...
