Hi,
B-Prolog version 7.1 has passed our internal tests and is available for external tests from www.probp.com. This version is about 10% faster than the previous version. Overall, during the past year B-Prolog's speed for standard Prolog programs has been boosted on average by 65% on Windows and nearly 90% on Linux and Mac thanks to a newly designed virtual machine named TOAM Jr. Our measurement also reveals significant improvement in compile speed and slight improvement in execution speed of constraint and tabled programs. Version 7.1 completes the transition from the old ATOAM virtual machine to TOAM Jr. and future versions are expected to be backward compatible with this version at the bytecode level.
The beta version is available only for Windows and Linux. The beta test period is expected to last two to three months and the versions for Mac and Solaris will be made available when the version is officially released.
If you have any comments or requests, please feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
Neng-Fa Zhou
