This paper considers the performance of a hypothetical multimicroprocessor back-end database machine relative to that of a mainframe database system. The class of workloads considered is high volume transaction processing. Analytic queueing models of the two architectures are constructed and used in parametric performance studies. The performance sensitivities with respect to transaction complexity, the amount of overhead required to implement the distributed database function, the amount of skew in the data access pattern, and the buffer miss ratio are determined. These performance sensitivities are determined for technology available in both 1986 and for that projected for the early 1990's.
