A High Performance Object-Oriented Destributed Parallel Database Architecture

The emerging between distributed and parallel technologies gives an enormous impact to database systems. In this paper, we present a high performance object-oriented database architecture based on the “Migration and Partition” approach. The migration process focuses on re-allocation of query/sub-query from high load sites to low load sites to improve the performance of query processing. Further improvement may be achieved in the partitioning process in which parallel processing is applied to query/subquery when there are low load sites available after the migration process. The “Migration and Partition” approach, which forms a two-phase load balancing, seems to give benefits to database systems that are based on the distributed and parallel technologies.
