A graphical tool for observing the behavior of parallel logic programs

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5686872
A graphical tool is described that has been useful in studying and improving the behavior of parallel logic programs. The parallel logic programming system being studied is ANLWAM, a parallel version of the Warren abstract machine that runs on a variety of shared-memory multiprocessors. The graphical tool, called WAMTRACE, currently runs on Sun workstations. The coupling between the two is not close, and WAMTRACE can easily be interfaced to other parallel systems. We describe here the features of the system, and give several examples of how it can be used to improve one's understanding of both a parallel logic program and the system that provides its parallel execution environment.
