Extended ASLM-a reconfigurable database machine

The architectural features of the ASLM database machine are explored, and the retrieval aspect of incorporating a comprehensive null value policy into the design of ASLM is examined. The join operation is used as a performance measure in the evaluation of ASLM. The extension of ASLM to a multiuser/multiprogram environment by dynamic reconfigurability of the hardware resources among a set of concurrent queries is discussed.<
