Control of a large massively parallel database machine using SQL catalogue extensions, and a DSDL in preference to an operating system (1992)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Unwalla, M., & Kerridge, J. (1992). Control of a large massively parallel database machine using SQL catalogue extensions, and a DSDL in preference to an operating system. In Advanced Database Systems: 10th British National Conference on Databases, BNCOD

The IDIOMS parallel database machine supports large applications where integrated OLTP and MIS is required. It can be considered a relational engine, and SQL is used as the MIS query language. We make some comparisons between IDIOMS and other databas...

Kerridge, J., Wright, S., & Oates, R. (1989). Design, abstract data types and occam. In Applying Transputer Based Parallel Machines: OUG-10, proceedings of the 10th Occam User Group Technical Meeting (29-45)

A design methodology is presented whereby abstract data types are mapped onto occam processes. For each function a command and reply protocol is specified. Attention is paid to the formal specification. The method may be useful in obtaining a paralle... Read More about Design, abstract data types and occam.
