Abstract :
Describes the architecture of the IBM RISC System/6000 and the IBM AS/400 from the standpoint of their suitability for implementing persistent object systems. Both systems provide facilities in their hardware, microcode and operating system that, carefully used, can simplify the implementation of persistent object systems and improve their performance. The facilities provided are not, however, perfectly matched to the requirements of persistent object systems. The authors discuss design trade-offs and identify recommended extensions
