The rate of increase in database size and response-time
requirements has outpaced advancements in processor and mass storage
technology. One way to satisfy the increasing demand for processing
power and input/output bandwidth in database applications is to have a
number of processors, loosely or tightly coupled, serving database
requests concurrently. Technologies developed during the last decade
have made commercial parallel database systems a reality, and these
systems have made an inroad into the stronghold of traditionally
mainframe-based large database applications. This paper describes the DB2®
Parallel Edition product that evolved from a prototype developed at IBM
Research in Hawthorne, New York, and now is being jointly developed
with the IBM Toronto laboratory.
