A space-efficient fully parallel stochastic computation architecture is described in this correspondence. It circumvents the main drawback of stochastic computation architectures that have been used up to now: the absence of a space-efficient technique of adding weighted input signals in parallel.

Oracle Parallel Server (OPS) is a shared disk RDBMS. We present a high level overview of the main architectural issues of OPS and their evolution throughout the releases of the Oracle database. The Oracle relational database can be used either in exclusive or shared mode. In exclusive (the most traditional) mode only one Oracle instance can mount or open the database. The Oracle Parallel Server...

The near future will present large scale parallel computers, able to provide computing power of more than one TFlop per second. It is commonly agreed that these systems will be based on the model of asynchronous processors connected by a point to point network. There are a number of diierent network architectures presented in the past. In this paper we present an architectural principle that co...
