Abstract
In one embodiment, a first portion and a second portion of a data set are identified. The first portion of the data set is sent to a first node that stores it in a first primary storage. The first primary storage is configured such that a first processor of the first node accesses information stored in the first primary storage without accessing another storage device. The second portion of the data set is sent to a second node that stores it in a second primary storage. The second primary storage is configured such that a second processor of the second node accesses information stored in the second primary storage without accessing another storage device. The first node generates a first set of results by processing the first portion of the data set. The second node generates a second set of results by processing the second portion of the data set.
