Abstract :
An overview is given of the Omega database machine and the techniques used in its implementation. Omega is a parallel object-based system that supports a functional data model and implements unique object identifiers, complex objects, a type hierarchy, inheritance, and user-defined methods. Key technical ideas that enable the architecture to scale to a large number of processors are discussed. Preliminary performance results for Omega are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of a parallel object-based system
