Functional logic programming integrates the most interesting features of modern functional and logic languages. The multi-paradigm declarative language Curry is an extension of Haskell which is intended to become a standard in the area. In this paper, we present UPV-Curry, an efficient and rather complete implementation of Curry. We compare UPV-Curry with already existing implementations and provide experimental evidence of the fact that the techniques used in implementing UPV-Curry, which exploit incrementality both in the basic operational machinery and in the data structures used to guide the computations, actually speeds up the Curry execution mechanism.
