Compilation of Constraint Systems to Parallel Procedural Programs - John (1997) (Correct)
....since then there has been a flurry of activity which has continued until the present day. Out of the many outstanding research projects in the two fields, we have selected those most closely related to this research for discussion. 8.1 Constraint Programming 8.1. 1 Consul The goal of Consul [Bal90] resembles ours in that it is to extract parallelism from constraints. But the approach is different in that interpretative local propagation is used to find values satisfying the system of constraints. This approach has little hope of extracting efficient programs and offers performance only in ....

Compilation of Constraint Systems to Procedural Parallel Programs - John, Browne (1996) (3 citations) (Correct)
.... defining the solution and choosing an appropriate subset of the state variables as the input set is an attractive approach to specification of programs, but there has been little success previously in attaining efficient execution of parallel programs derived from constraint representations [1]. There are however, both motivations for continuing research in this direction and reasons for optimism concerning success. Constraint systems have attractive properties for compilation to parallel computation structures. A constraint system gives the minimum specification (See [2] for the ....
....operations. c) Option of not parallelizing a particular module. d) Option of selecting certain operations for executing in parallel. e) Choices among parallel algorithms to execute some of the operations. 3 Related work We shall briefly sketch related pieces of work in this section. Consul[1] is a parallel constraint language that uses an interpretive technique (local propagation) to find satisfying values for the system of constraints. This system offers performance only in the range of logic languages. Declarative extensions have been added as part of High Performance Fortran(HPF) ....
