In this paper the authors present a different model, referred to as the Active Graph Model, which is based on the principles of asynchronous data-driven computation. To demonstrate the viability of this approach, they have implemented the model on a simulated multiprocessor architecture. By varying the speed of processors, memory units, communication links, and the types of queries processed, they demonstrate that the resulting database machine is capable of exploiting the I/O bandwidth of a large number of disk units as well as the computational power of the associated processors.
