A Performance Evaluation of Four Parallel Join Algorithms in a Shared-Nothing Multiprocessor Environment

Summary: Parallel-join comparison of Grace, Hybrid hash, Simple hash, and sort-merge on a shared-nothing Gamma. Vary distribution, memory, and bit-vector filters; Hybrid hash dominates, but skewed inner keys with limited memory favor sort-merge. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
