Abstract

The PRISMA project is a large-scale research effort in the design and implementation of a highly parallel machine for data and knowledge processing. The PRISMA database machine is a distributed, main-memory database management system implemented in an object-oriented language that runs on top of a multi-computer system. A prototype that is envisioned consists of 64 processing elements.

The work reported in this document was conducted as part of the PRISMA project, that is partially supported by the Dutch ”Stimuleringsprojectteam Informaticaonderzoek (SPIN).”
