Evaluation of memory system for integrated Prolog processor IPP
M. Morioka, S. Yamaguchi, Tadaaki Bandoh · 1989
This paper discusses an optimal memory system to realize a high performance integrated Prolog processor, the IPP. First, the memory access characteristics of Prolog are analyzed by a simulator, which simulates the execution of a Prolog program at a micro instruction level. The main findings from this analysis are that: the write access ratio of Prolog is larger than that of procedural languages; and performance improvement requires the memory system to process concentrated, large write accesses effectively.
