Abstract :
This paper describes a distributed implementation of a scalable heterogeneous associative logic programming model, and describes an abstract instruction set for the distributed version of the model. Associative computation exploits data parallel computation. The implementation uses PVM for architecture independence, and uses object oriented programming for modularity and portability. Performance results on a cluster of IBM RS 6000 are presented
