To cope with the growth of the Web and their user bases, state-of-the- art search engines rely on adding more hardware components to their systems, replicating existing systems, or engineering techniques like keeping Web pages in the memory. Unfortunately, when the exponential growth of the Web is considered, this is neither scalable nor cost effective. In this project, our aim is to develop efficient algorithms for solving the bounded inverted index replication problem. Replication in parallel inverted index structures can be utilized to optimize the parallel processing overhead in query processing. It is possible to reduce the number of index servers responding to a query and the communication overhead through partial replication of the inverted index.
