National Lotteries: An Exercise in Parallel Data Management Design
  The advent of a National Lottery in the United Kingdom prompted the thought about how one would design a highly parallel system to manage such an activity, especially, as the solution adopted by the lottery company was to use a parallel database machine. The fact that the selected machine does not use a database management system but uses bespoke software makes the exercise even more interesting. The aim of this design exercise is to investigate how a highly parallel scalable computer system could be constructed using a transputer based architecture.
