Investigation of some hardware accelerators for relational algebra operations

This paper is devoted to the application of specialized processors for speeding-up the realization of relational algebra operations on fine-grain SIMD computers. A short description of two processors is presented. By means of a special high level language STAR, the algorithms of implementation of relational algebra operations are described in a STARAN-like computer model, and then in the same model with attached processors. The comparison is made, corroborating the efficiency of the proposed co-processors.<
