Abstract (EN): Declarative systems, such as logic programming, should be ideal to process large data sets efficiently. Unfortunately, the high-level nature of logic-based representations can cause inefficiencies, and may lead in some cases to unacceptable performance. We discuss how logic programming systems can accommodate large amounts of data in main memory. We use a number of real datasets to evaluate performance and discuss how a number of techniques can be used to improve memory scalabality for such datasets.
