Multiprocessor systems should exist in the the larger context of distributed systems, allowing multiprocessor resources to be shared by those that need them. Unfortunately, typica...
Large scale bioinformatics experiments are usually composed by a set of data flows generated by a chain of activities (programs or services) that may be modeled as scientific work...
Complex and data-intensive database queries mandate parallel processing strategies to achieve sufficiently short response times. In praxis, parallel database processing is mostly b...
Improvements in the processing speed of multiprocessors are outpacing improvements in the speed of disk hardware. Parallel disk I/O subsystems have been proposed as one way to clo...
Known parallel DBMS offer at present only static partitioning schemes. Adding a storage node is then a cumbersome operation that typically requires the manual data redistribution....
