Executing π-WAM with Dogelog Player (Re: Emulating π-WAM in Dogelog Player)

Hi,

A π-WAM combines ideas from π-calculus and Warren
Abstract Machine. We already made a compiler and
emulator, 100% written in Prolog, and we could
demonstrate is/2 and between/3. In this post we
introduce executors, written in the Dogelog Player
target host languages.

On the Prolog side we added packing the machine
code into 32-bit instructions. On the host targets
side, for Java, JavaScript and Python, we added a
π-WAM virtual machine. Interestingly the Java based
machine can execute our testcase in 80 ms, while
GNU Prolog takes 200 ms.

Bye
