Data-base machines and parallel data-base systems are becoming a viable alternative for handling transactions on voluminous data-bases especially with the declining cost of hardware. Data-base research has spawned a variety of parallel-processing architectures to improve the performance of database machines. However, many of these architectures are based upon unique hardware configurations and technologies including processor-per-track, processor-per-head, and off-the-disk designs. Alternative backend data-base systems will be utilized for processing transactions on voluminous data-bases. The complete performance analysis and design of RRDS is currently being carried out by a Ph.D. student at the University of Central Florida. RRDS supports the relational data model and consists of multiple processors running replicated copies of the data-base management system (DBMS) software on a partitioned data-base. The general hardware organization is composed of a controller and a collection of replicated computers which can be implemented as microcomputers or minicomputers.
