Design of Dynamic Load Balancing Mechanisms for Massively Parallel Object-Oriented Databases

摘要

In object-orented database systems implemented on massively parallel computers, load imbalance problems degrade the perofrmance of the system. This paper describes the necessity of the dynamic load balancing, and suggests some strategies of dynamic relocation of database objects. The design of these strategies on a massively parallel object-oriented database system MAPPLE/DB is also presented.
