Abstract

In this paper, we present the design, implementation techniques, and initial performance evaluation of Gamma. Gamma is a new relational database machine that exploits dataflow query processing techniques. Gamma is an operational prototype consisting of 20 VAX 11/750 computers. In addition to demonstrating that parallelism can really be made to work in a database machine context, the Gamma prototype shows how parallelism can be controlled with minimal control overhead through a combination of the use of algorithms based on hashing and the pipelining of data between processes.
