Abstract :
The architecture of a massively parallel multiprocessor and multi-disk database computer is presented. The interprocessor communication network has a hypercube topology. The architecture requires selection of linear ordering of the nodes of a network of processors. A method is developed and presented which can arrange the nodes in sequences efficient for management of data. Among the features of the produced sequences is that the size of the sequence can grow as the size of the hypercube grows, without changing the existing subsequences
