Database machines : sixth international workshop, IWDM '89, Deauville, France, June 19-21, 1989 : proceedings

"This volume contains 24 papers presented at the Sixth International Workshop on Database Machines. The papers cover a wide spectrum of topics including: system architectures, storage structures, associative memory architectures, memory resident systems, deduction and retrospectives on maturing projects. The nature of the papers is highly technical and presumes knowledge of database management systems and familiarity with database machines. The book is representative of the dual trend in the field towards (1) search for new functionability and (2) attention to detail, completeness and performance of prototype implementations"--Publisher's website An object flow computer for database applications....Pages 1-17 Design and implementation of KARDAMOM — A set-oriented data flow database machine....Pages 18-33 An experiment on response time scalability in Bubba....Pages 34-57 Language levels and computational model for a parallel database accelerator....Pages 58-72 A graph based data structure for efficient implementation of main memory DBMS's....Pages 73-96 Implementing PRISMA/DB in an OOPL....Pages 97-111 Database processing models in parallel processing systems....Pages 112-126 Parallel sorting methods for large data volumes on a hypercube database computer....Pages 127-141 Evaluation of 18-stage pipeline hardware sorter....Pages 142-155 A parallel container model for data intensive applications....Pages 156-170 Function request shipping in a database machine environment....Pages 171-186 Special function unit for statistical aggregation functions....Pages 187-201 Generic associative memory for information retrieval....Pages 202-214 Design and analysis of a parallel VLSI string search algorithm....Pages 215-229 Integrating integrity constraints with database filters implemented in hardware....Pages 230-250 Main memory database research directions....Pages 251-268 Recovery algorithms for database machines with non-volatile main memory....Pages 269-285 An intelligent memory transaction engine....Pages 286-300 A parallel transitive closure algorithm using hash-based clustering....Pages 301-316 A new version of a parallel production system machine, MANJI-II....Pages 317-330 A parallel processing architecture for real-time production systems with truth maintenance....Pages 331-344 The Braunschweig Relational Database Machine project results....Pages 345-358 The development of the CROSS8 and HC16-186 parallel (database) computers....Pages 359-372 Analysis of some experimental results for the TDM....Pages 373-386
