Simultaneous Firing of Production Rules on Tree Structured Machines

Ishida, Toru; Stolfo, Salvatore

This paper describes a method to realize the simultaneous firing of production rules on tree c structured machines. We propose a simultaneous firing mechanism consisting of global, communication and global synchronization between subtrees. We also proposes hierarchical decomposition algorithm for production systems which maximizes total throughput by satisfying two requirements, Le. Maximizing parallel executability and minimizing global communication.
