Large join order optimization on parallel shared-nothing database machines using genetic algorithms (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nafjan, K. A., & Kerridge, J. M. (1997, August). Large join order optimization on parallel shared-nothing database machines using genetic algorithms. Presented at Euro-Par'97 Parallel Processing: Third International Euro-Par Conference, Passau, Germany

This paper proposes the use of genetic algorithms (GAs) for optimizing the sequence of large joins execution on parallel shared-nothing database architectures. In order to measure the suitability of this method we compare the GA that we have specific...
