Design Of A Backend Processor For A Data Base Machine

Summary: Backend filter for relational DBMs offloads unary ops (projection, selection) and updates to hardware to boost performance. Hierarchical free-format relations reduce space; an automaton-like device handles projections/restrictions, with a microprogram generator mapping relations and operations to hardware control.
