Abstract
A distributed data processing system executes database operations, and includes a first group of host processors and a second group of job processing units (JPUs). A software application for executing database operations executes in a distributed fashion with portions of the database application executing on at least one central database processor and other portions executing on the data storage processors. At least a portion of the database application is implemented within and/or coordinated by a communication process that is executing the communication protocol. The communication process implements a load balancing function in front of the host processors, the load balancing function directing individual transactions to selected processors so as to evenly distribute workload.
