High-Performance Parallel Database Processing and Grid Databases- P2: Parallel databases are database systems that are implemented on parallel computing platforms. Therefore, high-performance query processing focuses on query processing, including database queries and transactions, that makes use of parallelism techniques applied to an underlying parallel computing platform in order to achieve high performance. | 30 Chapter 1 Introduction SUMMARY This chapter focuses on three fundamental questions in parallel query processing namely why what and C asphio onc additional question based on the technological support. The more complete questions and their answers are summarized as follows.
