Description
The ACE model (as well as certain other proposed models) exploit only a subset of the forms of parallelism present in Prolog. The Extended Andorra Model (EAM) attempts to exploit all possible forms of parallelism present in Prolog. As a result the EAM is highly complex. Research is being conducted to measure the benefits of the EAM and to realize its efficient implementation. To date a reportoire of simple implementation techniques and optimizations have been developed that will, in the long run, lead to an efficient implementation of the EAM.
