Abstract

The organization of an autonomous processor supporting database management functions is presented. The DataBase Concurrent Processor (DBCP) can be thought as a back-end data management machine of a general purpose host computer; it supports relational data model directly in hardware, and is able to run concurrently a number of programs written with a relationally complete instruction set. DBCP is composed of a parallel organization of cells and a Coordination Unit (CU). Each cell supports and processes tuples of an unique relation and consist sof a special purpose microprocessor and a circulating serial memory. Along a full memory revolution each microprocessor accomplishes an access on its own memory block while, at the same time, the CU transmits all necessary information to the access to be made in the next revolution. CU is allowed by microprocessor functional independence to organize different concurrency control strategies, trying to make maximum use of cellular organization processing capability. This concurrent processing capability at backend level fits better to the database system multiuser nature (shared resources) and consequently higher capabilities and performance rates are hoped to be achieved.
