The Design of a Back-end Object Management System

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Workshops in Computing ((WORKSHOPS COMP.))

Abstract

We describe the architecture and design of a back-end object manager, designed as an “active memory” system on a plugin board for a standard workstation (or personal computer). We show how, with minimal modification to existing code, it is possible to achieve significant performance improvement for the execution of data-intensive methods on objects, simply by using our back-end object manager.
