Cache modelling in a performance evaluator for parallel database systems
Shaoyu Zhou, Neven Tomov, Howard Williams, Albert Burger, Hamish Taylor · 2002
Cache modelling is an important issue in developing an analytical performance evaluator to estimate the performance of applications running on parallel DBMSs. This paper describes a cache model developed for parallel cache management in the Oracle7 parallel server. Some preliminary results have also been obtained by using the cache model to predict the cache hit ratio for varying database sizes and varying numbers of participating processing elements.
