TL;DR: In this article, a lattice framework is used to express dependencies among views and greedy algorithms are presented to determine a good set of views to materialize, with a small constant factor of optimal.
Abstract: Decision support applications involve complex queries on very large databases. Since response times should be small, query optimization is critical. Users typically view the data as multidimensional data cubes. Each cell of the data cube is a view consisting of an aggregation of interest, like total sales. The values of many of these cells are dependent on the values of other cells in the data cube. A common and powerful query optimization technique is to materialize some or all of these cells rather than compute them from raw data each time. Commercial systems differ mainly in their approach to materializing the data cube. In this paper, we investigate the issue of which cells (views) to materialize when it is too expensive to materialize all views. A lattice framework is used to express dependencies among views. We present greedy algorithms that work off this lattice and determine a good set of views to materialize. The greedy algorithm performs within a small constant factor of optimal under a variety of models. We then consider the most common case of the hypercube lattice and examine the choice of materialized views for hypercubes in detail, giving some good tradeoffs between the space used and the average time to answer a query.
TL;DR: The authors examine the hypercube from the graph-theory point of view and consider those features that make its connectivity so appealing and propose a theoretical characterization of the n-cube as a graph.
Abstract: The n-dimensional hypercube is a highly concurrent loosely coupled multiprocessor based on the binary n-cube topology. Machines based on the hypercube topology have been advocated as ideal parallel architectures for their powerful interconnection features. The authors examine the hypercube from the graph-theory point of view and consider those features that make its connectivity so appealing. Among other things, they propose a theoretical characterization of the n-cube as a graph and and show how to map various other topologies into a hypercube. >
TL;DR: This paper completely analyze the hypercube network by explicitly computing the eigenstructure of its node adjacency matrix and shows that a diffusion approach to load balancing on a hypercube multiprocessor is inferior to another approach which is called the dimension exchange method.
TL;DR: A general class of hypercube structures is presented in this paper for interconnecting a network of microcomputers in parallel and distributed environments and the performance is compared to that of other existing hyper cube structures such as Boolean n-cube and nearest neighbor mesh computers.
Abstract: A general class of hypercube structures is presented in this paper for interconnecting a network of microcomputers in parallel and distributed environments. The interconnection is based on a mixed radix number system and the technique results in a variety of hypercube structures for a given number of processors N, depending on the desired diameter of the network. A cost optimal realization is obtained through a process of discrete optimization. The performance of such a structure is compared to that of other existing hypercube structures such as Boolean n-cube and nearest neighbor mesh computers.
