Abstract

We present a parallel algorithm to compute the transitive closure of a relation. The transitive closure operation has been recognized as an important extensionof the relational algebra. The importance of the performance problem brought by its evaluation brings oneto consider parallel execution strategies. Such strategies constitute one of the keys to efficiency in a very large data base environment. The innovative aspects of the presented algorithm concern: 1) the possibility of working with a reasonable amount of memory space without creating extra Inputs/Outputs; 2) the use of on-disk clustering accomplished by double hashing; and 3) the parallelization of the transitive closure operation. The processing time is reduced by a factor of p, where p is the number of processors allocated for the operation. Communication times remain limited; a cyclic organization eliminates the need for serialization of transfers. The evaluation in a shared nothing architecture, shows the benefits of the proposed parallel transitive algorithm.
