Why A Single Parallelization Strategy Is Not Enough In Knowledge Bases
Summary: Contends logic-program evaluation requires program-specific parallelization and proposes five strategies trading evaluation cost against communication/synchronization overhead. Characterizes a class amenable to pure (no-overhead) parallelization, links it to NC, and formalizes optimal (though overhead-bearing) strategies toward a theory of parallel logic programming.
