A multiprocessor organization for supporting relational data base management systems is presented. DIRECT has a MIMD (multiple instruction stream, multiple data stream) architecture. It can simultaneously support both intra-query and inter-query concurrency. The number of processors assigned to a query is dynamically determined by the priority of the query and the size of the relations it references. The size of a relation is not limited to that of the associative memory as in some previous data base machines. Concurrent updates are controlled through address translation tables which are maintained by a controlling processor. DIRECT is being implemented using LSI-11/03 microprocessors and CCD memories which are searched in an associative manner. A novel cross-point switch is used to connect the LSI-11 processors to the CCD memories. While cross-point switches have proven too expensive for use in general purpose parallel processors, their application in DIRECT demonstrates that these switches can be successfully used in specialized applications.

What is a Processor Organization?
What is processor orgnisation
Does a processor execute multiple threads at a time?
Yes it dose
What component may have multiple core?
A processor. CPU or GPU
How is it possible for such a single processor system run multiple processes?
hyperthreading
Is the ability of a processor to perform multiple activities in a brief period of time?
Multiprocessor
What are uni-processor and multi-processor?
seems you are a bit confused there,eh! it seems that u mean uni-core-processor and multi-core-processor. uni simply means 1 so its obvious it is a single core processor. (for eg. Pentium 4's) multi means multiple, so its obvious it is a multiple cores processor. (for eg. core2duo has 2 cores, core2quad has 4 cores, phenom ii x6 110t has 6 cores and so on)
If clock speed increases then what happens to processor speed?
Th clock speed is the processor speed. It is simply the amout of operations the processor can do per second. However if the processor has multiple cores, it will be as fast as number of cores * clock speed. Note that the processor speed is not the overall computer speed.
Splitting a single processor into multiple virtual machines is called what?
hardware - based virtualization
What is amd a4 dual core processor?
multiple core microprocessor, in this case 2
How many waiting processes can a single processor have?
1 process at most is running. 1 process or multiple are ready. 1 process or multiple are waiting.
What is core i5 i4 i3 in computer?
A standard processor had one core like in P1, P2, P3, P4. It means it can performed only one task at a time. Now to make computer able to perform multiple tasks simultaneously it is being manufactured with multiple processors. A Dual-core processor has two cores. A Quad-core processor has four cores. An i3 processor has 2 cores. An i5 processor has 2 or 4 cores (depending on the model you have.) An i7 processor has 2, 4 or 6 cores (depending on the model you have.)
What is multikey file organization?
to have a data file with multiple access path is known as multi key file organization
