ABSTRACT:
A system and methods for parallel processing of queries to one or more databases are described herein. One or more databases may be distributed among a subset of slave nodes of a global-results processing matrix. A query to the database may be generated using a query-based high-level programming language. The query-based source code then may be converted to intermediary source code in a common programming language and then compiled into a dynamic link library (DLL) or other type of executable. The DLL is then distributed among the slave nodes of the processing matrix, whereupon the slave nodes execute related portions of the DLL substantially in parallel to generate initial query results. The initial query results may then be provided to master node of the global-results processing matrix for additional processing, whereby the master node is adapted to execute one or more associated portions of the DLL on the initial query results.
