Abstract :
Gamma is a relational database machine that utilizes dataflow query processing techniques. Selection query results are presented which show that response time increases in a linear fashion as the size of the input relations increase and that speedup is linear as processors are added. The authors present results from a performance analysis of join queries. Speedups very close to linear are attained as processors are added.<>
