As a result of three year work, we can present a parallel Prolog system for
Transputer networks. Brain Aid Prolog (BAP) is a Concurrent Sequential
Processes (CSP) based standart Prolog and uses its own MS-Windows or X server
for I/O. Special features are automatic topology adapation and concurrent
source level debugging (see several processes exchange messages). Performance
is pretty high, comparable to other known Prolog compilers. We archived good
results (>80% efficiency) executing applications like N-queens or checkers in
parallel on an 8 processor network. 

If you are interested, please drop a message and I will try to put it somewhere
on the net.
