Abstract
This paper describes an efficient data structure called
the G-tree (or grid tree) for organizing multi-dimensional
data. The data structure combines the features of grids and
B-trees in a novel manner. It also exploits an ordering
property which numbers the partitions in such a way that
partitions that are spatially close to one another in a
multi-dimensional space are also close in terms of their
partition numbers. This structure adapts well to dynamic
data spaces with a high frequency of insertions and
deletions, and to non-uniform distributions of data. We
demonstrate that it is possible to perform insertion,
retrieval and deletion operations, and to run various range
queries efficiently using this structure. A comparison
with the BD tree, - zkdb tree and the KDB tree is
carried out and the advantages of the G-tree over the other
structures are discussed. The simulated bucket utilization
rates for the G-tree are also reported.
