  • Who was Fernando Pereira?

    From Mild Shock@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 2 10:43:03 2025
    When I look at the file it shows me:

    Some of the benchmarks are inspired on a benchmark suite developed at
    ICOT for their SIM project, and other benchmark choices were
    influenced by discussions with ICOT researchers on the relative
    performance of SIM-I vs. Prolog-20.

    -- Fernando Pereira

    But the file name has probably a typo:

    samples/peirera.pl

    Pay respect to the ancestors, and write their names correctly.

    Its obviously nonsense, because the original name was:

    These benchmarks are designed to identify
    pereira.tar Fernando Pereira's benchmarks (26-DEC-86)
    pereira.txt

    https://github.com/ashok-khanna/cmu-ai-repository/blob/main/lang/prolog/code/bench/0.html

    These tests are a nice piece of history and
    require some research to get the names right.

    I find his name on this arvix paper:

    Gemma: Open Models Based on Gemini Research and Technology https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.08295

    He features as an Executive Sponsor.

    Hi,

    Anyway reporting anything to Trealla Prolog
    or Scryer-Prolog is a total waste of time.

    So the most logical thing to do is:

    rm -rf trealla
    rm -rf scryer-prolog

    I already quit Facebook and Twitter, and
    I don't miss them. I will probably also

    not miss Trealla Prolog and Scryer-Prolog.

    LoL

    Bye
