In this study, parallel implementation of M-tree to index high dimensional metric space has been elaborated and an optimal declustering technique has been proposed. First, we have defined the optimal declustering and developed an algorithm based on this definition. Proposed declustering algorithm considers both object proximity and data load on disk/processors by executing a k-NN or a range query for each newly inserted objects. We have tested our algorithm in a database containing randomly…

Efficiency and Scalability Issues in Metric Access Methods

This chapter explains and proves by experiments that similarity searching is typically an expensive process which does not easily scale to very large volumes of data, thus distributed architectures able to exploit parallelism must be employed.
