Abstract

CLP systems diffr signicantly in the efficiency of their execution so that a wrong choice for an application may be disastrous relative to the necessary performance. Thus, efficiency should be taken into account when choosing the best system for a particular application. In spite of this, there appeared to be no impartial efficiency information concerning CLP systems. In the research described here1, we have compared, as fairly as possible, eight systems and provided detailed results concerning their speed and robustness
