Teradata Components

What are the main components of Teradata System?

Teradata has 3 main components which do wonder to the world of data management & Storage.
It has

1. PE (Parsing Engine) : Acts as a gate keeper to the Teradata Systems and manages all sessions, interprets the SQL statements for any errors, manages the access rights for the user, defines a least expensive optimizer plan for the query to execute and sends the request to AMP via Bynet.
2. Message Passing Layer (Bynet)  : Carries messages between the AMPs and PEs, provides Point-to-Point and Broadcast communications, Merging answer sets back to the PE and Making Teradata parallelism possible

3. AMP (Access Module Processor) : AMP is the heart of Teradata which does most of the operations for data storage and retrieval. It also takes care of  finding the rows requested, Lock management of the tables and rows, Sorting rows, Aggregating columns, Join processing etc.
