Implementing Scalable Parallel Search Algorithms for Data-Intensive Applications

Scalability is a critical issue in the design of parallel software for large-scale search problems. Previous research has not addressed this issue for data-intensive applications. We describe the design of a library for parallel search that focuses on efficient data and search tree management for such applications in distributed computing environments.
