Static and run-time characteristics of OPS5 production systems
Anoop Gupta, Charles L. Forgy · Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing · 1989
This paper presents measurements made on several large OPS5 production systems (rule-based systems). The complete set of measurements is divided into three parts. The first part consists of measurements on the textual structure of the production system programs. The second part consists of measurements on the compiled form of the productions, and the third part consists of run-time measurements on the production system programs. The measurements are essential to the design of high-performance interpreters for production systems. The measurements are also designed to help explore the role of parallelism in execution of production system programs.
