Abstract: An I/O intensive application, parallel full text retrieval based on a signature file method, is studied. The text retrieval system is implemented on a cluster of DEC5000 workstations connected by Ethernet. Experiments are performed to evaluate the benefit and cost for running such an application in a workstation cluster. Results show that substantial improvement in speed can be obtained through parallelism in disk accesses, despite the high communication and synchronization overhead that is... (Update)
