• Aurora is an OR-parallel Prolog system whose implementation is based on the WAM, an efficient sequential implementation model. This paper discusses several issues related to parallel Garbage Collection (GC) in Aurora. The GC itself is a generalization of GC techniques used for sequential Prolog. In order to make this paper self-contained, we focus on the general principles. More specifically, many optimizations are not discussed, insofar they are not directly related to the GC process.
