Hi Josh,

Sure. Imagine you have a 5TB database on a machine with 8 cores and only one
concurrent user. You'd like to have 1 core doing I/O, and say 4-5 cores
dividing the scan and join processing into 4-5 chunks.
Ah, right, thank for enlightenment. Heck, I'm definitely too focused on
replication and distributed databases :-)
However, there's certainly a great deal of an intersection between
parallel processing on different machines and parallel processing on
multiple CPUs - especially considering NUMA architecture.
*comes-to-think-again*...
Isn't Gavin Sherry working on this? Haven't read anything from him
lately...
Me neither. Swallowed by Greenplum and France.
Hm.. good for him, I guess!
Regards
Markus
