Three main Architectures For Parallel Database
PRAGATI NARBOLIKAR

In Parallel Databases, mainly there are three architectural designs for parallel DBMS.
They are as follows:
• Description: In a shared-nothing system, each CPU has its local main memory and disk
space. No two CPUs can access the same storage area directly.
• Functionality: CPUs communicate with each other through a network connection rather
than sharing memory or disks.
Advantages :
1. It has better scalability as no sharing of resources is done
2. Multiple CPUs can be added
Disadvantages:
3. The cost of communications is higher as it involves sending of data and software interaction
at both ends
4. The cost of non-local disk access is higher than the cost of shared disk architectures.
