| 20100169302 | SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR GROUPING DATABASE LEVEL OBJECT ACCESS COUNTS PER PROCESSING MODULE IN A PARALLEL PROCESSING SYSTEM - A system, method, and computer-readable medium for grouping of database object access counts per processing module in a parallel processing system are provided. Each processing module manages an intermediate cache allocated thereto that stores database object access counts local to the respective processing module. The processing modules are configured in a hierarchical configuration and processing modules at the lowest level of the configuration forward their respective intermediate cache to a processing module configured as a parent to the respective processing module. On receipt of intermediate cache(s) from lower level processing modules, a processing module merges the received intermediate caches with the intermediate cache allocated to the processing module. The process is iteratively repeated until a root processing module receives the intermediate caches from processing modules configured as child nodes thereto. The root processing module merges the received intermediate cache(s) with the root processing module's intermediate cache thereby generating a final cache. An objects access count data structure is then generated by the root processing module. The object access count data structure of the final cache includes data blocks of object access counts where each data block is associated with a particular access module processor (AMP). The data blocks may then be forwarded to the associated AMPs. | 07-01-2010 |
