Data intensive applications that rely heavily on huge databases waste a lot of time in searching and retrieval especially if there is a single server retrieving data from the database. This paper proposes a Beowulf cluster for fast query processing by distributing the database horizontally over nodes through a load balancing act. A mathematical model is proposed to optimally partition data among the nodes. Communication between nodes is to be achieved through MPI (Message Passing Interface).
