DISTRIBUTED AND INTERACTIVE DATABASE ARCHITECTURE FOR PARALLEL AND ASYNCHRONOUS DATA PROCESSING OF COMPLEX DATA AND FOR REAL-TIME QUERY PROCESSING

摘要

The various embodiments of the invention provide a data processing system and method, for applications such as marketing campaign management, speech recognition and signal processing An exemplary system embodiment includes a first data repository (fig 4, item 320) adapted to store a plurality of entity and attribute data, a second data repository adapted to store a plurality of entity linkage data (fig 4, item 310), a metadata data repository adapted to store a plurality of metadata modules (fig 4, item 330), with a first metadata module having a plurality of selectable parameters, received through a control interface (fig 4, item 135), and having a plurality of metadata linkages to a first subset of metadata modules, and a multidimensional data structure The control interface may modify the plurality of selectable parameters in response to received control information A plurality of processing nodes (fig 4, items 335 and 355) are adapted to use the plurality of selectable parameters to assemble a first plurality of data from the first and second data repositories and from input data, to reduce the first plurality of data to form a second plurality of data, and to aggregate and dimension the second plurality of data for storage in the multidimensional data structure.
