The Effect of Target Applications on the Design of Database Machines
Summary: Classifies database machines by DM organization; defines effective instruction rate as a workload-aware metric. Performance hinges on partitioning DM CPUs vs the managing CPU; business favors single, bibliographic disk-based multi, statistics hybrids. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
