Abstract

The authors present an architecture, suitable for implementation on a shared memory multiprocessor system, in which all the phases can run in parallel. Running multiple match, execution, and select phases causes subtle synchronization problems, which if not resolved can lead to altered semantics. The proposed architecture uses a lock and interference manager and a scheduler to resolve the possible synchronization conflicts. A new lock which provides concurrency beyond the standard two-phase locking in databases is used. The conflict resolution phase has been formalized as a scheduling problem. The approach taken is conservative in the sense that the scheduler performs careful analysis (interference avoidance and abort avoidance tests) to prevent interference, abort, and blocking.
