Performance Analysis of a Load Balancing Hash-Join Algorithm for a Shared Memory Multiprocessor

Summary: A skew-robust hash join for shared-memory multiprocessors, balancing processing across processors within each bucket. Develops an analytical cost model and validates it experimentally, addressing nonuniformity neglected by prior parallel-join analyses. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
