AN OVERVIEW OF B+ TREE PERFORMANCE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Over the years, difference in speed between Central Processing Units or CPUs and main memory has become so much that lots of applications, including DBMSs, spend a lot of time waiting for data to be fetched from main-memory. B+ trees have been observed poorly utilizing the cache memory, which isleading to the development of many cache-conscious indices. Earlier simulation models were used to study cache conscious indices, the trend has recently gone towards measuring performance on real computer architectures, which means the performance is measured on real systems, instead of simulation models. In this study, we study the performance of the pB+ tree on the Itanium 2 processor, focusing on various implementation options and their effect on the performance.
