... ncurrency. In the proposed method, the tree height is reduced by increasing the node size. However, it is shown that increasing node size alone in conventional E-trees on parallel disks may not improve the response time, and may even degrade the performance. The proposed method achieves better performance while avoiding this anomaly. Index Tenns-B-trees, parallel processing, queueing models, synchronized disks.
