Abstract

We describe a software framework for deploying, scheduling and executing parallel DBMS user-defined programs on an attached high-performance computer (HPC) platform. This framework is advantageous for many DBMS workloads in the following two aspects. First, the long-running user-defined programs can be speeded up by taking advantage of the greater hardware parallel-ism available on the attached HPC platform. Second, the interac-tive response time of the remaining applications on the database server platform is improved by the off-loading of long-running user-defined programs to the attached HPC platform. Our frame-work provides a new approach for integrating high-performance computing into the workflow of query-oriented, computationally-intensive applications.
