Abstract :
The use of massively parallel processors for high performance data management is moving rapidly into the commercial mainstream. This paper describes key features of the RISAM (replicated ISAM) parallel data manager, which is currently available on the C-DAC PARAM 8000 series of parallel supercomputers and on the Unisys U6000 symmetric multiprocessors, and which can be readily ported to other platforms. The design of RISAM makes it easy to migrate data management applications from a uniprocessor machine to a parallel architecture
