Dynamic allocation of processes and channels in T9000/C104 networks using occam3 (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J. (1994). Dynamic allocation of processes and channels in T9000/C104 networks using occam3. In Progress in Transputer and occam Research: WoTUG-17: Proceedings of the 17th World occam* and Transputer User Group Technical Meeting (1-17)

The hardware of the Inmos T9000 transputer contains a resource channel mechanism which is used to implement a many-to-one client server programming model. This model has also been captured in occam3. The resource channel mechanism provided by the har... Read More about Dynamic allocation of processes and channels in T9000/C104 networks using occam3.

Large scale data management and massively parallel architectures in Automatic Fingerprint Recognition (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Walter, D., & Kerridge, J. (1994, April). Large scale data management and massively parallel architectures in Automatic Fingerprint Recognition. Presented at High-Performance Computing and Networking: International Conference and Exhibition, Munich, Germany

The National Transputer Support Centre is an independent parallel processing consultancy specialising in large scale data management and parallel databases. We were approached recently by the Home Office to investigate the data management aspects of...

Benchmarking parallel SQL database machines (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jelly, I., Kerridge, J., & Bates, C. (1994, July). Benchmarking parallel SQL database machines. Presented at Directions in Databases 12th British National Conference on Databases, BNCOD 12, Guildford, UK

New parallel database systems are being developed to support the data processing needs of large commercial organisations: these offer increased performance in terms of processing throughput and enhanced support for both on-line transaction processing...

A strategy for semantic integrity enforcement in a parallel database machine (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McCarroll, N., & Kerridge, J. (1994, July). A strategy for semantic integrity enforcement in a parallel database machine. Presented at Directions in Databases: 12th British National Conference on Databases, BNCOD 12, Guildford, UK

Semantic integrity constraints represent knowledge about data with which a relational database must be consistent. To enforce semantic integrity we must ensure that transactions which alter the database will preserve database consistency by accompany...

Dynamic Allocation of Tasks in occam3 (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., & Nixon, P. (1994). Dynamic Allocation of Tasks in occam3. In M. Jane, D. Marini, & A. De Gloria (Eds.), Transputer Applications and Systems '94: Proceedings of the 1994 World Transputer Congress, Cernobbio, Italy, Sept. 5-7, 1994

In many application environments there is a need to able to allocate resources dynamically. The occam programming language has no concept of such dynamic allocation. This paper shows how dynamic allocation can be incorporated into occam without sacri... Read More about Dynamic Allocation of Tasks in occam3.

Evaluation of high performance parallel database machines (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Jelly, I., & Bates, C. (1994, April). Evaluation of high performance parallel database machines. Presented at HPCN-Europe: International Conference on High-Performance Computing and Networking 1994, Munich, Germany

Many organisations are considering the use of large relational databases to implement their information needs. For large organisations this will result in the implementation of a machine dedicated to that task. In the near future, these 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...
