The Edinburgh Prolog Compiler

The Edinburgh Prolog Compiler is a specialized software tool that translates Prolog programs—used for logic-based problem solving—into executable code that a computer can run efficiently. Developed at the University of Edinburgh, it transforms high-level logical instructions into machine-understandable instructions, enabling Prolog applications to perform tasks like expert systems, natural language processing, and knowledge databases more effectively. Essentially, it acts as a bridge, converting human-readable logic into optimized machine code, making sophisticated reasoning programs practical and faster.
