Abstract

This paper describes a fast associative search algorithm based on parallel searching by pattern-splitting. The text is read as a sequence of substrings and searching is parallel within each substring. Substring length can be arbitrarily chosen and this division is independent of the logical partitioning of the data, such as tuple and domain. This provides a flexible storage structure across tracks of the secondary storage. The algorithm developed is used in the design of a hardware associative search. It works directly on the secondary storage and is a basis for database machine design. The design is cellular in structure and can be implemented by using LSI technology.
