"Machine-independent ""and"" and ""or"" parallel execution of logic programs"

Parallel machines are becoming increasingly cheap and more easily available. Commercial companies have already announced MIMD machines with more than 8000 processors. This prompts three questions: Should the programmer have to rewrite existing software for each new machine that comes along? Should it be necessary for the programmer to have intimate knowledge of the target machine in order to program it efficiently? Is it necessary for the programmer to identify the parallelism in programs explicitly?
