Hardware for Searching Very Large Text Databases

Abstract

dc:description

The problems involved in searching very large text databases are discussed. It is shown that conventional techniques for searching current databases cannot be scaled up to larger ones, and that it is necessary to build hardware to search the database in parallel if reasonable search times are expected. The part of the search process requiring the highest bandwidth is scanning the database to detect instances of search terms. Methods from the literature of doing this in hardware are examined, problems with using them in large systems are discussed, and design criteria to be met by a successful search architecture are defined.
