Overview of Parallel Architectures for Databases

B. Bergsten1 *, M. Couprie2 § and P. Valduriez3 ¶

1 Bull Systems & Products, Rue Jean Jaures, BP68, 78340 Les Clayes-sous-Bois, France, 2 ESIEE, 2, boulevard Blaise Pascal, BP99, 93162 Noisy-le-grand Cedex, France, 3 INRIA & Bull, Domaine de Voluceau, BP105, 78153 Le Chesnay Cedex, France

We present and compare hardware and system architectures for databases that take advantage of parallelism. First, we state the problem and identify the main comparison criterions (price, performance, extensibility, data availability). Then, we review the major architecture classes (shared nothing, shared everything, shared disks, hybrid) and discuss their advantages and drawbacks for different kinds of workloads.

Received June 1993. revised September 1993.
