Abstract: B-Prolog deviates from WAM mainly by its parameter passing mechanism: parameters are pushed on the control stack instead of being passed through argument registers. Also, the B-Prolog emulator has a quite high performance on the classical benchmark set despite its being ANSI-C compliant. It is therefore tempting to attribute its performance to the parameter passing convention. This issue is investigated here in more detail. Instruction compression was a key issue in this study, so we... (Update)

...to a read mode routine and a write mode routine. In a bytecode interpreter, this can be done either using two switch statements (as in [4]) or e.g. as a common one where an opcode 2 i refers to a read mode routine and 2 i 1 refers to the write mode version. An indirect...
