Hi Manuel,
Well, possibly. But sending a socket request for every separate fact
in the knowledgebase you need to look up and pass to the Jess
reasoning engine sounds slow to me, compared to what we want to do.
That is, I'm not just worried about passing instructions - its getting
the huge amount of data to the Jess engine on-the-fly so it can reason
over them that I'm worried about.
We will have one huge Lisp image in the 64 GB of RAM (later 256 GB) on
our one big server, an IBM eSeries p690. Our lab chief, Dr. Larry
Hunter, is an old-time east coast computer scientist/Lisp hacker, and
he's hired Franz Lisp to write a 64-bit version of their Common Lisp
to run under AIX on this machine, with its 8 processors, so we can
address the full RAM memory. I think we want something that can access
CLOS objects directly, make additions to the knowledgebase more
directly. Does that sound reasonable?
