This research, sponsored through the Research Opportunities             for Women  (ROW) initiative, investigates main memory database                  (MMDB) design.  Declining memory costs and demands for fast                     database access times have spurred great interest in the                        development of MMDB's, where all or major portions of databases                 reside in the computer's main memory. The Principal                             Investigator's previous research into the factors which influence               effective, recoverable MMDB design has been embodied in the MARS                database system prototype. The research conducted here will                     develop further the requirements and characteristics of design                  support, including such elements as the novel addressing scheme                 using a set associative access to the stable memory. The overall                objective of the MARS project is to actually implement a                        prototype MMDB system based upon this initial design. While that                project will take several years, the purpose of this funded                     research is to produce a much more detailed design of the system.                       The importance of this research is that, by eliminating                 input/output bottlenecks, main memory databases may greatly                     improve the performance of knowledge based computer systems. This               project represents one of the first efforts aimed specifically                  at designing, implementing, and evaluating a MMDB prototype.
