Research in Functionally Distributed Computer Systems Development. Volume XV. Performance of Multi-Processor Backend Data Base Systems.

Abstract

The results of a simulation study intended to determine the circumstances under which it is beneficial to operate a data base management system with a multi-processor backend are presented. The basic concept of backend data base management systems and multi-processor backend systems are provided as background material. The general structure of the simulation model which has been implemented in GPSS is outlined. The results of the study indicate that the amount of CPU activity required by the data base management system is a determining factor with respect to the need for a multi-processor backend. (Author)
