Worst-Case Optimal Algorithms for Parallel Query Processing

By Paris Koutris

We study the communication complexity for the problem of computing a conjunctive query on a large database in a massively parallel setting. In contrast to previous work, where upper and lower bounds on the communication were specified for particular structures of data, in this work we focus on worst-case analysis of the communication cost. We also show a surprising connection to the external memory model, which allows us to translate parallel algorithms to external memory algorithms. This technique allows us to recover several recent results on the I/O complexity for computing join queries, and also obtain optimal algorithms for other classes of queries.
