Paging Using Rival technique: Sorting by Depth First Search Traversal. Road intersections and segments within a page have a common color.
Lots of white (cut) edges => WORSE clustering.
CRR = 0.609 for
Minneapolis Major Roads (1079 nodes, 3067 edges)
Stored in 40 disk pages
Paging Using Our CCAM (Connectivity Clustered).
Road intersections and segments within a page have a common color.
Has fewer white (cut) edges => BETTER clustering.
CRR = 0.827 for
Minneapolis Major Roads (1079 nodes, 3067 edges) Stored in 40 disk pages.
Effective paging is the key to minimize disk I/O cost which dominate the total response for many applications.
