1. What is it:
MPP (Massive Parallel Processing) and SMP (Symmetrical Multi-Processing) databases are two powerful approaches to organizing and managing data. MPP allows multiple servers to work simultaneously, while SMP utilizes multiple processors within a single server. Products like Amazon Redshift, Snowflake, and Google BigQuery rely on MPP, while Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL use SMP.
2. How they work:
- MPP: Splits data across multiple nodes, each node processes its portion of the data independently, speeding up query response times.
- SMP: Processes data using multiple processors sharing a single memory, but may face limitations as the system scales.
3. Value to the market:
- MPP: Ideal for large-scale data warehousing, analytical processing, and handling big data.
- SMP: Better suited for smaller-scale systems and transactional processing, offering simplicity and ease of use.
