Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of retrieval of information from a distributed database, e.g. using distributed computation as a search engine.
Claims20
A method of retrieving search results from a distributed database according to priorities, using parallel computation performed by computation modules for a common query, the method comprises stages of:
- i. receiving by more than one computation module one or more search criteria related to a common query, ii. searching by computation modules results from associated database according to said search criteria, iii. associating with search results priority discrimination levels, wherein priority discrimination levels are common to search results from said computation modules, and wherein a priority discrimination level refers to one or more search criteria that discriminate one or more search results from other search results,
An apparatus to implement system and method to retrieve search results from a distributed database, comprising a common server and database servers connected to a common network wherein each database server has one or more computation modules which enable search functionality associated with one or more local databases.
