Abstract :
Discusses issues related to the design and and usage of database management systems consisting of massive amounts of data in parallel environments. The issues include the placement of the data in the memory, file systems, concurrent access to data, effects on query processing, the implications of specific machine architectures, and the peculiarities of specific parallel systems. Since not all parameters are currently amenable to rigorous analysis, results of performance studies are highlighted wherever they are deemed appropriate
