  • Abstract
    The authors examine the suitability of message-passing computers for parallel implementations of production systems. Two mappings for production systems on these computers, one targeted toward fine-grained message-passing machines and the other targeted toward medium-grained machines, are presented. Simulation results for the medium-grained mapping are presented, and it is shown that it is possible to exploit the available parallelism and to obtain reasonable speedups. The authors perform a detailed analysis of the results and suggest solutions for some of the problems
