Abstract

An approach to exploiting coarse-grained parallelism in database applications is presented. This approach combines the database facilities of ADAMS with the dependency detection and parallel execution facilities of Mentat. The approach to providing mode-two parallelism is to make changes behind the ADAMS language interface, thus insulating users from the changes in operating environment. In addition, by merging with a mature parallel/distributed computing technology, it has been possible to capitalize on existing software to provide these facilities and avoid building them from scratch.
