One of the first things that the FGCP did was discover that Prolog wasn't parallelizable the way they had hoped: very quickly they switched to a language called KL1 (very different from KL-ONE) that was parallelizable. I'm amused at the general supposition that the FGCP was a failure. Yes, it failed to produce specific hardware that was commercially competitive, but the basic program of "applying parallelism to search and database tasks" behind it was the basis for Deep Blue, Google's web search and the infrastructure behind many a large scale system. |
