::SHE+ILA::'s Intelligent Pages

More about ::SHE+ILA::'s Intelligent Pages

The ::SHE+ILA:: datastore (::SHE::) is segmented into many independent pages. (See the other descriptions tagged #sheila for details.) These multiple instances of ::SHE:: can each run on separate computers. Each implements the FBI operations (Fundamental Buffer Interface). The datapath (::ILA::) talks to the appropriate instance of ::SHE:: (Segmented Hierarchical Environment) according to the SEGID in the Address Register. Meanwhile, the other instances of ::SHE:: can be garbage collecting or checkpointing. This implicit storage parallelism speeds up the entire system, like the RAM interleaving on PC motherboards. It is also possible to have multiple ::ILA:: (Interactive Language Architecture) processors in the network, each running a separate batch of threads. Thus we have a conceptual "::SHE+ILA:: mainframe" configuration :)
