Abstract: A database management system (DBMS) manages a database existing in a second storage device with an access speed lower than that of a first storage device. In an execution of a query, the DBMS dynamically generates tasks two or more executable tasks in parallel.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a biological tissue grinding container includes a container portion and a vibrated portion, and vibration is transmitted to biological tissue from the vibration portion to grind the biological tissue. The vibrated portion includes a contact portion to be brought into direct contact with the biological tissue and defines a chamber which stores the biological tissue to be ground, together with the container portion. The vibrated portion is fixedly supported to be vibratable to the container portion directly or via a support portion provided between the container portion and itself, and has solidity higher than that of the container portion or support portion.

Abstract: A database management system (DBMS) generates a query execution plan including information indicating one or more database (DB) operations necessary to execute the query. The DBMS dynamically generates a task for executing the DB operation in execution of the query. The DBMS performs a determination processing of simultaneous-task-generation number when newly creating a task. The determination processing of simultaneous-task-generation number is to calculate the number of simultaneous task generation, which is the number of tasks that can be generated simultaneously, based on the number of tasks which can be newly generated, a first memory resource amount which is the amount of memory resources necessary to be allocated per task newly generated, and a second memory resource amount which is the number of memory resources that can be newly allocated. The number of tasks generated dynamically and simultaneously is equal to or smaller than the calculated number of simultaneously generatable tasks.

Abstract: A parallel data processing system includes a parallel data processing execution unit for reading a data from a data set including a first data set that includes a plurality of first data and a second data set that includes a plurality of second data and executing processing. The parallel data processing execution unit (A) reads the first data from the first data set, and acquires a first value from the first data based on first format information acquired from an application, (B) generates one or more threads for respectively reading one or more second data corresponding to the first value from the second data set based on first reference information acquired from the application, (C) executes (A) and (B) on one or more first data in the first data set, and (D) executes a plurality of the threads in parallel.

Abstract: This analysis system analyzes the behavior of a DBMS in a computer system having a computer which executes tasks in parallel and reads data from a database (DB) when executing a query.
