Abstract

Following a brief review of the of the Rewrite Rule Machine’s concurrent rewriting model of computation, this paper describes a technique for transforming rule sets which eliminates non-left linear and conditional rules. By Theorem 1, this transformation preserves termination and result; it is used as a first phase of compilation. After a brief review of RRM architecture, the second phase of compilation is described, which transforms unconditional left linear rule sets into ensemble micro code. By Theorem 2, this transformation preserves the time complexity of a set of rewrite rules executed in parallel. The paper concludes with a discussion of the ensemble controller’s role.
