Abstract
We present in this paper a platform which integrates the necessary tools for the performance evaluation of various query processing strategies in multidimensional databases, and proposes a simple interface for the specification of spatial benchmarks.
In its current setting, our platform is focused on 2-dimensional operations: several kinds of spatial indices and spatial join algorithms have been implemented and their performance compared. We give these first results and discuss their relevancy.
