Performance Measurements of RP* : A Scalable Distributed Data Structure For Range Partitioning
Aly Wane Diène, Witold Litwin · 2000
The RP* scheme generates the scalable range partitioning. The intervals at the data servers adjust dynamically so that new servers accommodate the file growth transparently for the application. We have implemented variants of RP* on a Windows 2000 multicomputer. We have measured the performance of the system. The experiments prove high efficiency of our implementation. RP* should be of importance to future main-memory parallel DBMSs.
