Description
Summary:Research on the Datacycle architecture attempts to achieve, in a single architecture, the goals of high performance transaction processing, a powerful and flexible query capability, and high levels of concurrent access to a single database by multiple applications. The Datacycle architecture meets these goals by providing independent structuring and scaling of processing resources, both for processing individual queries (intra-query parallelism) and for overall throughput (inter-transaction parallelism). This paper describes the experimental Datacycle research prototype implemented at Bellcore. Building the prototype forced us to identify and overcome a number of key engineering and implementation issues and provides a better understanding of the value of this approach to database architecture.< >
