Hardware Feasibility of INFOPLEX Design Strategy. Revision.

Abstract

Among its several design objectives, the key goals of INFOPLEX are to support an extremely large size of databases and to provide an unprecedented level of speed and efficiency in making database transactions. At another level, INFOPLEX attempts to dispense with the traditional approach of using monolithic mainframes. Instead, the design envisages use of arrays of relatively inexpensive microprocessors to allow for fast retrievals and to guarantee adequate fault tolerance capabilities. These microprocessors need to be interconnected in an optimal manner to provide maximum system throughput. Concurrent multiprocessor operation represents one of the key ingredients of the hardward design strategy of INFOPLEX.
