Abstract

Scalable, distributed data structures can provide fast access to large volumes of data. In this paper, we present a simulation study in which the performance behaviour of one of these data structures, called LH*LH, is evaluated for a multicomputer architecture. Our experimental results demonstrate that the access-time to LH*LH can be very small and does not deteriorate for increasing data structure sizes. Furthermore, we also show that parallel access to the LH*LH data structure may speed up client applications. This speed-up is, however, shown to be constrained by a number of effects.
