Abstract
Some embodiments of knowledgebase partitioning for implementing parallelization in a rule engine have been presented. In one embodiment, a compiler divides a knowledgebase into a set of virtual partitions. The knowledgebase includes a network constructed according to rules added to the knowledgebase. A rule engine may execute the virtual partitions of the partitioned knowledgebase in parallel using threads obtained from a pool of threads.
