Abstract
Various architectures for a database system are reviewed. First the database workload on a single processor is characterized and then several ways to construct parallel database systems are described. If the database contents are too large to fit in main memory, it is critical that the architecture offer a decent memory hierarchy. It is equally important for the database software to be aware of the memory hierarchy and to take advantage of locality of reference
