What is Hot Amp in Teradata?

Hot Amp is situation when one or few AMP's in the system work more than other AMP's in the system due to uneven data distribution among the AMP's.

when a select query is executed on skewed tables, few amps with more data will work longer while other AMP's with lower data volume will finish its processing earlier and sit idle waiting for Hot AMP's to finish its processing. in this scenario the overall query performance directly proportional to the Hot AMP's performance.
