Abstract
Numerically intensive calculations are not well supported by Prolog, yet there are important applications that require tightly coupled symbolic and numeric calculations. We identify some additional built-in predicates and macros for Prolog to support numeric calculations. The predicates are implemented in several layers of software and hardware, including a specially designed high performance numeric coprocessor. Simulated performance results indicate the system will achieve about 4 MFLOPS on the Prolog version of some Whetstone benchmarks (in double precision).
