Seems that Orace soon will become Processor vendor ;)

 With every disk comes a multinode processor that performs Oracle Parrallel 
Queries. This processor receives the
instruction to retrieve a certain result set (not raw data blocks). The volume 
of data being returned through the much
wider pipes is actually much smaller, as only the requested data from the 
already filtered records needs to be returned.
The database server combines the resultsets from the various nodes in the 
Exadata Storage Server and performs any
aggregations.

Any experiences/best practices with this toy ;) 


Cheers, Milen
