Models developed

• Simulation Models
• - IBMs CSS, QSIM, APLOMB
• - complicated
• Queuing Models
• Monitoring Systems

3

• Benchmarks
• TP1
• Wisconsin (single user, multi-user)
• External and Internal Measurement
• RDBMS
• - INGRES
• - three benchmark programs
• i) overhead-intensive, ii) data-intensive,
• iii) multi-relation queries

4

• ODBMSs
• - PEDCAD
• Micro-based databases
• - Extended Analytical Technique (EAT)
• Indexed File Environment
• - access and response time
• Parallel Database Systems
• Back-end database architectures

5

• Assumptions
• - uniformity
• - independence of attribute values
• - constant number of records per block
• - random replacement
• Performance Enhancements
• - dynamic compilation
• - micro-coded routines
• - special-purpose file system
• - special-purpose operating system
