Abstract
The storage and processing of persistent objects presents opportunities for add-on hardware support. Particularly, there are aspects of memory management and whole-structure processing which are seen to benefit from a novel kind of SIMD-parallel architecture. This paper discusses the top-down requirements for handling persistent objects and then describes an active memory unit called the IFS/2 which meets these requirements. Performance figures for prototype hardware are given, and its application to an object-oriented data model is briefly described.
