Efficient data storage, a major concern in the modern computer industry, is mostly provided today by the the traditional magnetic disk. Unfortunately the cost of a disk transfer m...
We present three distributed algorithms to build global inverted files for very large text collections. The distributed environment we use is a high bandwidth network of workstati...
