  • Abstract
    The PUMPS architecture consists of P task processing units (TPU) which share a pool of special peripheral processors, VLSI functional units, and a common two-dimensional shared memory (SM) via a block transfer oriented interconnection network. A shared cache is provided between the TPU´s and SM for efficient MIMD interprocessor communication. The SM is also connected via a backend database management network (BDMN) with distributed control to the file memories, which are disk-based database storage devices.
