About this title

Synopsis

Explore a detailed blueprint for a highly parallel database computer and its large-scale information management system.

This book outlines a functional hierarchy built on top of a storage hierarchy to deliver high reliability and throughput for big data tasks.

Readers gain a clear view of INFOPLEX, a database computer designed for scalable information processing. The text explains how storage hierarchy, memory management, and modular, hierarchical design come together to support complex database functions—from data definition to query processing—without exposing lower-level device details to the upper layers. It emphasizes how parallelism, decoupled interfaces, and layered decision making contribute to performance and reliability.

With a focus on architecture and methodology, the work covers key topics such as:

Storage hierarchy and memory management strategies that balance cost and speed
The functional hierarchy and how modular design reduces function overlap and improves reliability
Internal structures for data encoding, unary and binary sets, and their interfaces
Plans for future research, including design methodology, locking mechanisms, and prototype implementation

Ideal for readers of system architecture and database design who want a rigorous, theory-grounded view of a specialized database computer and its hierarchical, modular approach to managing information at scale.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
