Design Considerations for Data-flow Database Machines
Summary: Explores data-flow concepts for relational-algebra execution in database machines; finds nested-loops outperform sort-merge on multiprocessors. Proposes three operand-granularity levels and argues page-level granularity best balances hardware/software; presents a preliminary page-based, distributed-control design.
