BLOCKER: A variable & multiattribute declustering for parallel database machines

2nd International Euro-Par Conference on Parallel Processing, Euro-Par 1996 -- 26 August 1996 through 29 August 1996 -- 144219In this paper, a new dechstering approach is introduced which uses an analytical workload model to determine the number of processors for each relation to execut~ the given workload efficianfly. The number of processors determined is used in generating load balanced dechstering based on a well-known multiattribute file su’ucture [4]. The result rams into a parallel file structure caLled PARMA [5]. The overall system, therefore, combines all advantages of variable and mulfiattributo dechstering together with efficient processor mapping [2] and the underlying parallel file support. © 1996 Springer Verlag.
