Search Mechanism Analysis Routine (SMAR): User's Manual.

Abstract

This document is a user's manual for the Search Mechanism Analysis Routine (SMAR) computer program. SMAR is designed to assist a database analyst in the selection of an efficient data record IDentifier Search Mechanism (IDSM). To use SMAR a database analyst will enter parameter values describing the records to be stored, the identifiers for these records, and the storage device on which these records will physically reside. Based on these parameters, SMAR will (1) analyze a variety of alternative IDSMs; (2) analyze hashing IDSMs in detail; and (3) compare actual and predicted hashing performance. (Author)
