An Overview of The System Software of A Parallel Relational Database Machine GRACE

Summary: GRACE’s hierarchical software executes relational operators as autonomous, data-stream-driven tasks, reducing control overhead and hiding computation behind I/O and transfers. It also introduces virtual-space management for efficient large-stream processing, validated in a simulator. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
