Computer Aided Design for the Generation of Test Transactions and Test Databases and for the Benchmarking of Parallel, Multiple Backend Database Systems

摘要

The multi-backend database system (MBDS) is a research effort conducted jointly by the Naval Postgraduate School and Ohio State University with the sponsorship of the STARS foundation. The MBDS is designed to overcome the capacity growth and performance gain problems of the traditional database systems and the single-backend database systems. To verify the aforementioned capacity growth and performance claims, a benchmarking methodology has been formulated in the Naval Postgraduate thesis, A Performance Measurement Methodology for Software Multiple-Backend Database Systems by James R. Vincent. This thesis presents the implementation of the methodology in the form of a computer-aided design system for the generation of test databases and test-transaction mixes for benchmarking MBDS.
