In this our first year of TREC participation, we implemented an IR system using an AT&T DBC-1012 Model 4 parallel relational database machine. We started with the premise that a relational system could be used to implement an IR system. After implementing a prototype to verify that premise, we then began to investigate the performance of a parallel relational database system for this application. We only used the category B data, but our initial results are encouraging as processing load was balanced across the processors for a variety of different queries. We also tested the effect of query reduction on accuracy and found that queries can be reduced prior to their implementation without incurring a significant loss in precision/recall. This reduction also serves to improve run-time performance. Finally, in a separate set of work, we implemented Damashek's n-gram algorithm for n=3 and were able to show similar results as found when n=5.
