% start by loading the loading the example:

| ?- logtalk_load(hanoi(loader)). ...

% NOTE: the example queries below use a SWI-Prolog proprietary predicate % time/1 in order to get accurate goal times. This predicate is also found % on recent development versions of YAP and XSB. For other Prolog compilers, % replace the time/1 call by any appropriate timing calls (e.g. cputime/0).

% solve the Towers of Hanoi problem for 24 disks using a single thread:

?- time(hanoi(1)::run(24)). % 25,165,864 inferences, 4.94 CPU in 5.12 seconds (96% CPU, 5094304 Lips)

Yes

% solve the Towers of Hanoi problem for 24 disks using two threads:

?- time(hanoi(2)::run(24)). % 78 inferences, 4.87 CPU in 2.66 seconds (183% CPU, 16 Lips)

Yes

% solve the Towers of Hanoi problem for 24 disks using four threads:

?- time(hanoi(4)::run(24)). % 78 inferences, 4.88 CPU in 2.60 seconds (187% CPU, 16 Lips)

Yes

% solve the Towers of Hanoi problem for 24 disks using eight threads:

?- time(hanoi(8)::run(24)). % 78 inferences, 4.98 CPU in 1.55 seconds (321% CPU, 16 Lips)

Yes

% solve the Towers of Hanoi problem for 24 disks using sixteen threads:

?- time(hanoi(16)::run(24)). % 78 inferences, 5.03 CPU in 1.44 seconds (348% CPU, 16 Lips)

Yes
