Scalability architecture: SMP and MPP
Share

SMP stands for symmetric multi-processing, distribution of computingworkload across a cluster of linked computers. Each node may havemultiple, multi-core processors to further parallelize processing on thatnode. Nodes may have local disk storage and also share disk storage withother nodes. A database system that runs across nodes of an SMP clusteris termed “shared disk.” It uses locks to regulate concurrent access to thedatabase, although locking is typically not a bottle-neck for read-intensivedata-analysis applications.MPP stands for massively…
