  • A Location Service for Partial Spatial Replicas Implementing an R-Tree in a Relational Database
    A Location Service for Partial Spatial Replicas Implementing an R-Tree in a Relational Database Yun Tian Department of Computer Science, Eastern Washington University Cheney, WA, USA 99004 Philip J. Rhodes Department of Computer and Information Science, University of Mississippi, University, MS, USA 38677 Abstract As parallel computing has become increasingly common, the need for scalable and efficient ways of storing and locating data has become increas- ingly acute. For years, both grid and cloud computing have distributed data across machines and even clusters at different geographic locations (sites). However not all sites need all of the data in a particular data set, or have the (perhaps specialized) processing capabilities required. These facts chal- lenge the conventional wisdom that we should always move the computation to the data rather than the data to the computation. Sometimes the data actually required is small. In other cases, the site with specialized processing capabilities (such as a GPU equipped cluster) cannot handle the demands placed on it unless a way is found to let that cluster select the data that is actually needed, even if it is not stored locally. Keywords: Globus Toolkit, Replica Location Service, R-tree, Prefetching, Spatial, Replica Email addresses: [email protected] (Yun Tian), [email protected] (Philip J. Rhodes) Preprint submitted to Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing 1. Introduction Although the problems just described are general, this paper concentrates on the problem of computation with spatial data. Such data is often the product of large computations and simulations, and also natural observations. In any case, spatial data sets present special problems, including not only size but also the mismatch between the n-dimensional nature of the dataset and its representation on disk.

In general, the multidimensional data model is used in these applications, realized as star or snow-flake schemata in the relational world. The so-called star queries are the prevalent type of queries on such schemata. All database vendors have extended their products to support star queries efficiently. However, mostly reporting queries benefit from the optimizations, like pre-aggregation, while ad-hoc queries usually lack efficient support. We present the DBMS Transbase® in this paper, which provides a new physical organization of the data based on hierarchical clustering and multidimensional clustering combined with multidimensional indexing. In combination with new query optimizations (e.g., hierarchical pre-grouping) significant performance improvements are achieved. The paper describes how the new technology is implemented in the Transbase® product and how it is made available to the user as transparently as possible. The benefits are illustrated with a real-world data warehousing scenario. 1 Introduction Data warehousing (DW), online analytical processing (OLAP), and customer relationship management (CRM), have become a major market in the database area through the last decade.

  • Transbase® CD
    PRODUCT SHEET Publishing Central Databases Widely with Transbase® CD Transbase® CD is a special variant of the database system Transbase®, desi- gned and optimized for databases directly on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. The range of use of Transbase® CD offers many advantages for the develop- ment and the operration of applications on CD and DVD. Transbase® CD provides for full SQL functionality (SQL 2003) Transbase® CD permits space saving distribution of database contents on CD/DVD-ROM Transbase® CD runs directly with the compressed database contents, thus minimizing local memory requirements. The integrated encryption and the privilege concepts provide an effective security for sensitive stored data. Transbase® CD offers the possibility to continuously update the data via internet using its update mechanism. Transbase® CD is perfect for applications which distribute central databases widely for autonomous operation. Publication of data on CD/DVD-ROM CD-ROM and DVD-ROM remain widely used for distributing information. These media prove themselves to be an important channel for distribution, even in the age of intensive internet usage. These media guarantee an auto- nomous use of the information in the event that use on-line is restricted or even impossible. This is an important aspect which has particular relevance to product information such as technical handbooks, service information and catalogues Database operation direct on CD/DVD-ROM For a long time SQL was considered too cumbersome and complex for these relatively slow media. Transbase® CD, however, is convincing with its full SQL functionality and impressive speed and performance. Page 1 of 6 PRODUCT SHEET This permits not only simple and clear programming, but also the immediate use of all the more pleasing features of SQL database systems: Automatic net- workability, multi-user support, data security monitored by the system, trans- actions and the powerful descriptive query language SQL.
