  VLSI implementation of a stochastic database machine for relational algebra and hashing
Elleithy K., Bayoumi M., Delcambre L. Integration, the VLSI Journal 11(2): 169-190, 1991.  Type: Article

Better and faster database machines (DBMs) are definitely needed because of the speed at which databases grow and proliferate. This research paper describes a special-purpose database processor implemented as a VLSI systolic array. It...

  AGM: a dataflow database machine
Bic L., Hartmann R. ACM Transactions on Database Systems 14(1): 114-146, 1989.  Type: Article

The dataflow database machine is designed to be a highly parallel database machine with many processing elements and many small disks. Since I/O bandwidth is a necessary but not sufficient condition to guarantee better performance, the...

  GAMMA--a high performance dataflow database machine
DeWitt D., Graefe G., Kumar K., Gerber R., Heytens M., Muralikrishna M., Morgan Kaufmann Publishers Inc., San Francisco, CA, 1988.  Type: Book (9780934613651)

It has long been recognized that the major obstacle to performing I/O-intensive computations such as database processing with the traditional von Neumann architecture is the processor-memory bottleneck. Von Neumann computers are best s...

  Analysis of database system architectures using benchmarks
Yao S., Hevner A., Young-Myers H. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering SE-13(6): 709-725, 1987.  Type: Article

This paper covers a lot of territory in its 16 pages, and it covers it exceptionally well. Briefly, the paper presents the details of the design, execution, and analysis of a benchmark test between a conventional database system (ORAC...

  Database machines and database management
Ozkarahan E., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1986.  Type: Book (9789780131960312)

A field of research has reached a certain level of maturity when the first true textbook on the subject appears. This book is the first textbook on database machines. Ozkarahan, as a pioneer in database machine research, is well qualif...

  Eliminating redundant modifications in dictionary machines
Wiedermann J. Computers and Artificial Intelligence 4(6): 545-550, 1985.  Type: Article

This paper discusses how to extend a “dictionary machine” which handles only (known to be) nonredundant sequences of modifications to a dictionary to one that recognizes and eliminates redundant operations from a se...

  Performance analysis of several back-end database architectures
Hagmann R., Ferrari D. ACM Transactions on Database Systems 11(1): 1-26, 1986.  Type: Article

The growing acceptance of database systems makes their performance increasingly more important. One way to gain performance is to off-load some of the functions of the database system to a back-end computer. The problem is what functio...

  A database machine for very large relational databases
Qadah G., Irani K. IEEE Transactions on Computers 34(11): 1015-1025, 1985.  Type: Article

The Michigan Relational Database Machine (MIRDM) is a database machine capable of supporting multiple concurrent user access to very large relational databases (10MB). This paper describes the architecture of MIRDM and evaluates it in ...

  Using database machines in embedded computer systems
Egyhazy C. Information and Management 8(4): 197-203, 1985.  Type: Article

An “embedded” computer is one that is part of a weapon. It may be used to control the firing of a tank’s guns or assist in flying an airplane. The physical environment of an embedded computer is usually ha...

Apr 1 1986
  Hardware support for advanced data management systems
Neches P. Computer 17(11): 29-40, 1984.  Type: Article

Changes in hardware technology present many new choices to the database machine designer. This paper describes the results of using a sophisticated queueing network model to explore the performance of database machine design. A wide ra...
