As part of a regular series of talks associated with the
Hector research project, Prof. Kai Li of Princeton
University will give a talk on multiprocessor transaction
processing on Tuesday. The abstract of the talk is
included below.
When: Tuesday, Nov. 8, 1988 at 12:00 noon
Where: SF 1102
What: Prof. Kai Li of Princeton University will talk on
multiprocessor main memory transaction processing.
Multiprocessor Main Memory Transaction Processing

This talk presents a brief analysis on the superlinear speedup of the
potential performance of multiprocessor main memory transaction
processing systems and describes an experiment designed to evaluate the
potential performance on stock multiprocessors. We have designed and
implemented a transaction processing kernel for stock multiprocessors.
The system prepares, processes, logs, and checkpoints transactions in
parallel, providing high performance without special purpose hardware.
On the standard debit-credit benchmark, our implementation on a pair of
5 1-MIP processor shared-memory multiprocessors runs 1,100 transactions
per second.
This work is jointly done with Jeffrey Naughton.
