Abstract
This paper proposes a Reduction-based Parallel Inference Machine : PIM-R and describes the architecture and its evaluation using two kinds of software simulators. Target languages of PIM-R are Prolog and Concurrent Prolog. PIM-R executes Prolog programs in OR parallel and Concurrent Prolog programs in AND parallel. The simulation results show that PIM-R is able to exploit the parallelism in Prolog and Concurrent Prolog programs.
