When Database Systems Meet the Grid

Summary: Reimplemented a Grid astronomy pipeline (galaxy-cluster finding) on a cluster of SQL servers, achieving an order-of-magnitude (~10×) speedup over the original Tcl+C-file Grid implementation. Analyzes how embedding DBMS capabilities into Grid services yields performance, scalability, and data-locality gains for data-intensive workflows. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
