Abstract

A description is given of an experiment designed to evaluate the potential transaction-processing-system performance achievable through the combination of multiple processors and massive memories. The experiment consisted of the design and implementation of a transaction-processing kernel on stock multiprocessors. The authors found that with sufficient memory, multiple processors can greatly improve performance. A prototoype implementation of the kernel on a pair of Firefly multiprocessors (each with five 1-MIP processors) runs the standard debit-credit benchmark at over 1000 transactions per second.
