We study a dose-driven dynamic load balancing strategy to evaluate database recursive queries. This proposal aims at obtaining a good workload balance with full use of the available resources, with different kinds of skew considered. The strategy is intended for general recursive queries and preliminary computational results illustrate its ef-ciency when applied to the particular case of linear...

Pipelined Processor Farms (PPF) are a generic parallelprocessing structure suitable for continuous-flow, multialgorithm applications. PPF has been redesigned for a multimedia workload which is multifunctional and multimodal. A dynamic object-based processing structure is implemented which will map onto mobile stations. The PPF processing model with asynchronous message-passing in a multi-thread...

Cells are minimum units reflecting epigenetic information, which is considered to map the history of a parallelprocessing recurrent network of biochemical reactions, their behaviors cannot be explained by considering only conventional DNA information-processing events. We have developed methods and systems of analyzing epigenetic information in cells, as well as that of genetic information, to ...

This article explores the evolution of the Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) database, focusing on trends of particular relevance to analytics. The dramatic shift of database vendors and leading companies to utilize MPP databases and deploy an Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) is presented. The inherent benefits of fresher data, storage efficiency, and most importantly accessibility to analytic...
