WINGRES - An INGRES-based Database Management System for the WARP Machine
01 January 1988
Currently under development at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is the WAfer scale Relational Processor, or WARP. It is a database machine designed to execute relational queries on many tuples of data in parallel. A database management system (DBMS) was needed to reside on a host computer and provide the control for the WARP machine. This thesis describes how the author altered and augmented the DBMS INGRES to develop WINGRES, a DBMS for the WARP machine. Most of the work consisted of adding new functionality to provide memory management for WARP as well as translation of user queries into sequences of WARP instructions.
