Abstract
The Agents Kernel Language (AKL) is a general purpose concurrent
constraint language. It combines the programming paradigms of
search-oriented languages such as Prolog and process-oriented
languages such as GHC. A parallel implementation, Penny, has been
developed at SICS. The implementation utilises both and-parallelism
and or-parallelism. Since AKL is based on the same concepts as Oz the
results from the parallel implementation can be directly applied in a
parallel Oz system.
The presentation gives a short overview of AKL but will be focused on
implementation details i.e. how the execution state is represented,
how tasks are scheduled and how memory is handled (gc). For those of
you that could not care less how many tags that are used in a list-
pointer some colour slides will show some nice speed-up curves :-)
The parallel implementation of AKL has been developed as a part of the
ACCLAIM Esprit project, EP 7195.
