SMP Architecture:(symetric Multi Proccessing): =============================== A single node architecture can also be called as SMP architecture.

Here PE and AMP(Access module Processor) are virtual Processor's where BYNET is an intemediate layer between PE and AMP Here BYNET is called S/W bynet or Boardless BYNET Key features of BYNET: ====================== 1. Fault Tollerance 2. Load Balancing 3. High scalability 1. Collection of nodes which make larger configuration is called MPP 2. All the NODES are connected via a component called BYNET 3. Here we have two bynets 4. here the bynet is called board oriented or hardware bynet 5. as per v2r5 we have maximum 512 nodes to connect to a bynet Bynet features: =============== 1. Fault tolerance: each bynet will have multiple network paths to connect to nodes, if there is a failure in any of the network path, BYNET will reconfigure it self and avoid the unusable network path, in this way if there is any fault occur bynet will tolerance it self. 2. Load Balancing: If BYNET0 is unable to reconfigure or unable to handle the traffic or instrunctions to be moved to bynet 1 and it balances the load 3. High scalability: If you increase the number of nodes, bynet will not sacrifies any performance. AMP(Access Module Processor): ============================= AMP is responsible for managing a portion of the database (collection of virtual disks), this portion is not sharable by any other virtual processor due to this reason we call this architecture is shared nothing architecture. AMP will have database manager sub system and it does the below operations a. b. c. d. e. Perform DDL Perform DML Implementing LOCKS Implementing JOINS Implementing Aggrigations
