Goldrush is an Open Database Server supporting Ingres, Oracle and Adabas,
running on commodity microprocessors under Unix. It uses a Massively Parallel
Processor Architecture to deliver highly scalable performance, 6000 t/s, a
bandwidth of 100 MBytes/s and filestore of 1200 GB. Impressive figures indeed !
A strong contender in the high-performance database market ? Come and see !
This presentation explains the Architectural features of the Goldrush System and
how it can be exploited by Database software and applications.
PPSG members are further invited to attend the Committee Meeting
(from 3 pm in Room 110)
and the Annual General Meeting which starts at 6 pm
(in the Ambrose Fleming Lecture Theatre)
The committee comprises a diverse group of people drawn from industry and
academia. We continue to need a wide range of talent on the committee, which
meets four times a year. We need experts in parallel computing, researchers,
academics, end users, application developers and more; essentially all those
involved in developing, marketing and using parallel processing technology with
the time and enthusiasm to make a contribution. Please consider standing at the
Annual General Meeting. Contact us for an informal chat about the PPSG and for
assistance with getting nominated. (Dr. John Blair-Fish (Secretary)
