A plug-in disk-Interface-process for the WSQL data access controller. (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., & Kukla, R. (1996). A plug-in disk-Interface-process for the WSQL data access controller. In B. C. O'Neill (Ed.), Proceeding WoTUG '96 Proceedings of the 19th world occam and transputer user group technical meeting on Parallel processing dev

As part of the development of a disk based storage subsystem for a database machine, a disk interface process has been designed, exploiting parallel processing features of the transputer. In a step-by-step approach design-decisions are presented and... Read More about A plug-in disk-Interface-process for the WSQL data access controller..

Intelligent storage devices for scalable information management systems. (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kukla, R., & Kerridge, J. (1996). Intelligent storage devices for scalable information management systems. In H. Liddell, A. Colebrook, B. Hertzberger, & P. Sloot (Eds.), High-Performance Computing and Networking (683-688). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-6

For most large commercial organisations the ability to store and manipulate massive volumes of data is a key operational requirement. Database systems are now fundamental to the efficient provision of a range of business tasks from on-line transactio...

Semantic computability: A mechanism for the description of test data sets for scaleable information systems (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bates, C., Jelly, I., Forgacs, I., Szabo, E., & Kerridge, J. (1996). Semantic computability: A mechanism for the description of test data sets for scaleable information systems. In H. Liddell, A. Colbrook, B. Hertzberger, & P. Sloot (Eds.), High-Performan

This paper describes a mechanism, semantic computability, through which data can be described in such a way as to enable the automated creation of structured, scaleable data sets for performance evaluation. The approach is demonstrated with reference... Read More about Semantic computability: A mechanism for the description of test data sets for scaleable information systems.

The design of the IRISS parallel database machine (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Walter, D., & Kerridge, J. (1996). The design of the IRISS parallel database machine. In High-Performance Computing and Networking: International Conference and Exhibition HPCN EUROPE 1996 Brussels, Belgium, April 15–19, 1996 Proceedings (913-914). htt

The decision support potential of large commercial relational databases is limited by the vast amounts of computing power required to perform complex queries on large datasets. Massively parallel processing offers the potential to open up new possibi... Read More about The design of the IRISS parallel database machine.

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...
