Performance data for SICStus Prolog

Performance Summary

The SICStus Prolog compiler produces portable, optimized virtual machine code.

Prolog Benchmarks

The table below shows performance for selected benchmarks from the Aquarius benchmark suite, plus a few additions from other sources. The benchmark sources can be found here. The benchmark environment was SICStus Prolog 4.6.0, Ubuntu Linux 18.04 on a quad core 3.60GHz Intel Core i7-4790. In terms of LIPS performance (Logical Inferences Per Second), the nreverse benchmark, executing 497 inferences, indicates a rate of 303 MLIPS.

Some CLPFD Benchmarks

We do not maintain benchmark figures for the finite domain constraint solver, but the distribution comes with a number of demonstration programs and a benchmark harness for these. To run the harness and view the performance figures, type the following:

| ?- load_files(library('clpfd/examples/bench')).
| ?- bench(default).
