Modelling test data for performance evaluation of large parallel database machines (1996)
Journal Article
Bates, C., Jelly, I., & Kerridge, J. (1996). Modelling test data for performance evaluation of large parallel database machines. Distributed and Parallel Databases, 4(1), 5-23. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00122146

Parallel servers offer improved processing power for relational database systems and provide system scalability. In order to support the users of these systems, new ways of assessing the performance of such machines are required. If these assessments...

Generic Abstract Data Types in occam'3 (e) (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chutimaskul, W., & Kerridge, J. (1995). Generic Abstract Data Types in occam'3 (e). In J. Gray, & F. Naghdy (Eds.), Parallel Computing: Technology and Practice : proceedings of the 7th Australian Transputer and Occam user Group Conference (58-67)

This paper describes the library mechanism for defining generic abstract data types (generic ADTs) as an extension to occam3 (occam3(e)). A generic ADT must be able to reuse either base data types or pre-defined data types and existing operations.... Read More about Generic Abstract Data Types in occam'3 (e).

W-SQL an interface for scalable, highly parallel, database machines (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Walter, D., & Guiton, R. (1995). W-SQL an interface for scalable, highly parallel, database machines. In C. Goble, & J. Keane (Eds.), Advances in Databases: 13th British National Conference on Databases, BNCOD 13 Manchester, United Kingdom,

The goal of any designer building a scalable database machine is to ensure that the interface between the relational processing part of the machine and the storage system is independent of the actual storage media. The interface should be as high a l... Read More about W-SQL an interface for scalable, highly parallel, database machines.

Generic Matrices in occam3(e) (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chutimaskul, W., & Kerridge, J. (1995). Generic Matrices in occam3(e). In Transputer Research and Applications 7 (NATUG-7): Proceedings of the Seventh Conference of the North American Transputer Users Group (255)

The possibility of enhancing the occam3 type system to support genericity for the purpose of reusability can be realised by means of user-defined parameterised types (UPTs) and overloading. A UPT is a mechanism for the reuse of data types and is empl... Read More about Generic Matrices in occam3(e).

National Lotteries: An Exercise in Parallel Data Management Design (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J. M., & North, S. (1995). National Lotteries: An Exercise in Parallel Data Management Design. In Transputer Applications and Systems ’95 (441)

The advent of a National Lottery in the United Kingdom prompted the thought about how one would design a highly parallel system to manage such an activity, especially, as the solution adopted by the lottery company was to use a parallel database mach...

Modelling saturated traffic networks using massively parallel computing techniques (1994)
Journal Article
Lu, K., Jones, J., & Kerridge, J. (1994). Modelling saturated traffic networks using massively parallel computing techniques. Traffic engineering & control, 35(7/8), 433-436

A technique for modelling the flow of motor vehicle traffic in congested urban signal-controlled networks using parallel computing is presented. A brief overview of traffic simulation and control precedes a discussion of the future requirements for c...
