| Abstract | Scheduling query execution plans is an important component of query optimization in parallel database systems. The problem is particularly complex in a shared-nothing execution environment, where each system node represents a collection of time-shareable resources (e.g., CPU(s), disk(s), etc.) and communicates with other nodes only by message-passing. Significant research effort has concentrated on only a subset of the various forms of intra-query parallelism so that scheduling and synchronization is simplified. In addition, most previous work has focused its attention on one-dimensional models of parallel query scheduling, effectively ignoring the potential benefits of resource sharing. In this paper, we develop an approach that is more general in both directions, capturing all forms of intra-query parallelism and exploiting sharing of multi-dimensional resource nodes among concurrent plan operators. This allows scheduling a set of independent query tasks (i.e., operator pipelines) to be seen as an instance of the multi-dimensional bin-design problem. Using a novel quantification of coarse grain parallelism, we present a list scheduling heuristic algorithm that is provably near-optimal in the class of coarse grain parallel executions (with a worst-case performance ratio that depends on the number of resources per node and the granularity parameter). We then extend this algorithm to handle the operator precedence constraints in a bushy query plan by splitting the execution of the plan into synchronized phases. Preliminary performance results confirm the effectiveness of our scheduling algorithm compared both to previous approaches and the optimal solution. Finally, we present a technique that allows us to relax the coarse granularity restriction and obtain a list scheduling method that is provably near-optimal in the space of all possible parallel schedules. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
