Re: ANN: Dogelog Player 1.2.0 (Binary Streams)

Dogelog Player is a Prolog system 100% written
in Prolog itself. It is unique among Prolog systems
in that it does not have a concept of a stack frame,
so a DEC10 ancestor/1 built-in or even error
backtraces are not available by design.

We were interested in a larger example to see whether
this design pays off. In the following we show an
implementation of Linear Conflict A* Search to
solve 8-puzzles and compare with newer Prolog
systems such as Scryer Prolog and Trealla Prolog.

One gets an itch more heuristic power by adding
on top of Manhattan distance a goal conflict
measure. Performance wise SWI-Prolog still
leads the pack, but we leave behind both Scryer-Prolog
and Trealla Prolog. Interestingly we are also
not bugged by some break out in the 2nd test.
