Logicflow execution model for parallel databases

摘要

The LOGFLOW parallel Prolog system is similar to the recent parallel database systems concerning its dataflow execution model and its capability of running on shared-nothing architectures. In this paper the abstract execution and abstract machine models of LOGFLOW are examined from a database point of view. Transformations of relational operators into the Logicflow Graph representation of Prolog programs are explained. Thus, LOGFLOW can operate as a relational database machine.
