Exposing I/O Concurrency with Informed Prefetching
Informed prefetching provides a simple mechanism for I/O-intensive, cache-ineffective applications to efficiently exploit highly-parallel I/O subsystems such as disk arrays. This ...

An Efficient Parallel Join Algorithm Based On Hypercube-Partitioning
Many parallel join algorithms have been proposed so far but most of which are developed focused on minimizing the disk It0 and CPU costs. The communication cost, however, is also ...

Fault-Tolerant Distributed Garbage Collection in a Client-Server Object-Oriented Database
We present a scalable garbage collection scheme for systems that store objects at multiple servers while clients run transactions on locally cached copies of objects. It is the fi...
