Analysis of Dynamic Load Balancing Strategies for Parallel Shared Nothing Database Systems

Summary: Analyzes dynamic load balancing for parallel joins in shared-nothing systems, jointly supporting inter- and intra-transaction parallelism. Distinctively, evaluates processor-count and selection policies under multi-user homogeneous/heterogeneous workloads and varying data placement. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
