Chapter 20, Problem 17E
Program Plan Intro

Parallel database systems:

  • parallel database systems contain many processors and many disks which are connected by a fast network.
  • Parallel database architecture is divided into four categories:
    • Shared memory
    • Shared disk
    • Shared nothing and
    • Hierarchical architecture
  • All these architectures need to tradeoff between scalability and communication speed.

Explanation of Solution

Important factors:

  • In shared memory architecture, contention for memory will affect the scale up with increase in parallelism.
  • It has to be noted that, contention for memory implies contention for bus connection...
