High Performance Parallel Database Processing and Grid Databases

The latest techniques and principles of parallel and griddatabase processing The growth in grid databases, coupled with the utility ofparallel query processing, presents an important opportunity tounderstand and utilize high-performance parallel databaseprocessing within a major database management system (DBMS). Thisimportant new book provides readers with a fundamentalunderstanding of parallelism in data-intensive applications, anddemonstrates how to develop faster capabilities to support them. Itpresents a balanced treatment of the theoretical and practicalaspects of high-performance databases to demonstrate how parallelquery is executed in a DBMS, including concepts, algorithms, analytical models, and grid transactions. High-Performance Parallel Database Processing and GridDatabases serves as a valuable resource for researchers workingin parallel databases and for practitioners interested in buildinga high-performance database. It is also a much-needed, self-contained textbook for database courses at the advancedundergraduate and graduate levels.
