The Architecture of a Database Computer. Part II. The Design of Structure Memory and its Related Processors.

Abstract

The database computer (DBC) is a specialized back-end computer which is capable of managing data of 10 to the 9th power -10 to the 10th power bytes in size and supporting known data models such as relational, network, hierarchical and attribute-based models. In addition to its intended purpose of handling large databases and interfacing with various data models, the DBC is one of the first database machines which have built-in protection mechanisms for access control and clustering mechanisms for performance enhancement.
