Parallel Behavior in Soar

Parallel Processing in Soar

Although Soar has usually been implemented on serial computers, the elaboration phase of the decision cycle represents an effectively parallel effort to bring distal knowledge (represented as the issue.

The firing of productions during elaboration occurs automatically, without any deliberate action. Thus, this part of the decision cycle can be considered as part of Soar's unconscious -- it occurs without Soar's awareness of the activity (only the result is apparent) or deliberate control.
