Intel和Oracle公司并肩作战,确保用户能在Intel即将问世的服务器硬件上运行新的Oracle数据库系统。这一联合行动预计将在1998年结束,工作主要集中在两个领域:针对Intel公司代号Merced的64位微处理器进行优化;坚持采用一种新的集群互连结构——Virtual Interface Architecture(虚拟接口结构)。 Intel称,它计划在不久的将来推出四处理器主板结构,这些主板可以集群并可改进伸缩能力。Intel还与其它公司合作,欲将该结构扩展到更大规 Intel and Oracle are working side by side to ensure that users can run new Oracle database systems on Intel’s forthcoming server hardware. The joint effort is expected to conclude in 1998 with work focusing on two areas: 64-bit microprocessors optimized for Intel company code Merced, and a new cluster interconnect architecture, the Virtual Interface Architecture Interface structure). Intel said it plans to introduce four-processor motherboard architectures in the near future that will cluster and improve scalability. Intel is also working with other companies to extend the architecture to even greater scale
