Skew characteristics and their effects on parallel relational query processing

Abstract

As queries grow increasingly complex and large data sets are becoming prevalent, Parallel Query Processing, database sizes grow dramatically particularly in Decision Support Systems (DSS) , and OnLine Analytic Processing Systems ( OIAP) which have recently emerged as important database applications. In these systems, performance is a critical issue and speeding up the system has always been an objective but the processing power of individual processors can only handle a small fraction of current applications. As a result, parallel processing is exploited to improve database systems performance. In the thesis we focus on relational database systems and study skew characteristics and their effects on parallel query processing.
