A method, system, and computer program for processing records is disclosed. In some aspects, a method includes associating, on at least one of the plurality of processors, each record with a record set of a plurality of record sets. Each record set is assigned to a sub-database based on the record set. A cache is associated with each sub-database, and each sub-database and its associated cache is associated with a processor set. An affinity is created between each database cache and the associated processor set, and records are processed with the processor sets according to the associations.

Localized data affinity system and hybrid method

A method, system, and computer program for processing records is disclosed. The records are associated with record sets, based on a record number contained in the record. Record sets are associated with physically separate processor sets, which include one or more processors. Records are electronically routed to associated processor sets for processing, based on the record set associated with the record. Records are processed on processors in the processor sets. Furthermore, various localized affinities can be established. Process affinity can link server processes with processor sets. Cache affinity can link database caches with processor sets. Data affinity can link incoming data to processor sets.
