SEARCH ENGINE DESIGN AND COMPUTATIONAL COST ANALYSIS

摘要

A computer implemented system for search engine facility architecting and design. The system estimates the costs of power and networking based on system parameters, such as average CPU utilization, connection time, and bytes transferred over the network. Regional distribution of facilities may be evaluated to take into account the various parameters and optimize the cost and speed of the systems being designed. The parameters used in analyzing and formulating an architecture are independent of a particular indexing or query processing technique.
