Abstract
The rapid advances in the development
of low-cost computer hardware have led to
many proposals for the use of this
hardware to improve the performance of
database management systems. Usually the
design proposals are quite vague about the
performance of the system with respect to
a given data management application. In
this paper we develop an analytical model
of the performance of a conventional
database management system and four generic
database machine architectures. This
model is then used to compare the performance
of each type of machine with a conventional
DBMS. We demonstrate that no one
type of database machine is best for executing
all types of queries. We also show
that for several classes of queries certain
database machine designs which have
been proposed are actually slower than a
DBMS on a conventional processor.
