Abstract

A DBMS (database management system) kernel architecture is proposed for improved DB support of engineering applications running on a cluster of workstations. Using such an approach, an application-specific layer of the DBMS code is allocated close to the corresponding application on a workstation while the kernel code is executed on a central server. Empirical performance results from DB-based engineering applications are reported to justify the chosen DBMS architecture. The focus is on design issues of the application layer, including server coupling, the processing model, and the application interface. A transaction model for long-term database work in a coupled workstation-server environment is investigated in detail.
