Recent developments in data base and information retrieval hardware architectures

Increased emphasis has been given to the solution of data base management and information retrieval problems through the use of new hardware architectures. These architectures have included front end/back end organizations, logic in memory, associative memory/array processors, special function architectures and computers developed solely for the handling of data. In this paper a brief overview of some of these architectures is given. The paper is concluded with the author's opinion as to progress in the field during the next ten years.
