A parallel B+ tree processing module with partitioning and redistribution may include a set of threads executing a batch of B+ tree operations on a B+ tree in parallel. The batch of operations may be partitioned amongst the threads. Next, a search may be performed to determine which leaf nodes in the B+ tree are to be affected by which operations. Then, the threads may redistribute operations between each other such that multiple threads will not operate on the same leaf node. The threads may then perform B+ tree operations on the leaf nodes of the B+ tree in parallel. Subsequent modifications to nodes in the B+ may similarly be redistributed and performed in parallel as the threads work up the tree. | 12-19-2013 |
