Database machines: A survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper surveys a class of computer architectures that use parallelism to enhance the performance of relational database systems. These architectures are referred to as Database Machines (DBMs). This survey groups the database machines into a small number of classes according to a newly developed classification scheme. The classes are then reviewed, examined, and compared in light of current and future trends in processor and memory technologies. • Ghassan Z.

Estimation of penetration rate of tunnel boring machines using Monte-Carlo simulation method
One of the most important parameters used for determining the performance of tunnel boring machines (TBMs) is their penetration rate. The parameters affecting the penetration rate can be divided in two categories. The first category is the controllable parameters such as the TBM technical characteristics, and type and geometry of the tunnel, and the second one is the uncontrollable parameters s...
متن کاملRAM analysis of earth pressure balance tunnel boring machines: A case study
Earth pressure balance tunnel boring machines (EPB-TBMs) are favorably applied in urban tunneling projects. Despite their numerous advantages, considerable delays and high maintenance cost are the main disadvantages these machines suffer from. Reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) analysis is a practical technique that uses failure and repair dataset obtained over a reasonable ti...

متن کاملA Survey of Languages for Specifying Dynamics: A Knowledge Engineering Perspective
ÐDuring the last years, a number of formal specification languages for knowledge-based systems has been developed. Characteristics for knowledge-based systems are a complex knowledge base and an inference engine which uses this knowledge to solve a given problem. Specification languages for knowledge-based systems have to cover both aspects. They have to provide the means to specify a complex a...
