Exploiting parallelism in database processing has been a research goal since the early 1970s. Originally, special-purpose architectures were developed to provide the computational and input/output bandwidth needed for database processing. More recently, many researchers have relied on commercial multiprocessor and local area networked systems to improve database processing performance. This paper focuses on hypercube interconnected architectures as a computational engine for relational-database processing. Like other architectures with distributed memory and resources shared-nothing architectures, hypercube systems can support the high I/O bandwidth required for database processing. However, unlike the other architectures, hypercubes are scalable to thousands of nodes.
