Download or read book Non Volatile Memory Database Management Systems written by Joy Arulraj and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the implications of non-volatile memory (NVM) for database management systems (DBMSs). The advent of NVM will fundamentally change the dichotomy between volatile memory and durable storage in DBMSs. These new NVM devices are almost as fast as volatile memory, but all writes to them are persistent even after power loss. Existing DBMSs are unable to take full advantage of this technology because their internal architectures are predicated on the assumption that memory is volatile. With NVM, many of the components of legacy DBMSs are unnecessary and will degrade the performance of data-intensive applications. We present the design and implementation of DBMS architectures that are explicitly tailored for NVM. The book focuses on three aspects of a DBMS: (1) logging and recovery, (2) storage and buffer management, and (3) indexing. First, we present a logging and recovery protocol that enables the DBMS to support near-instantaneous recovery. Second, we propose a storage engine architecture and buffer management policy that leverages the durability and byte-addressability properties of NVM to reduce data duplication and data migration. Third, the book presents the design of a range index tailored for NVM that is latch-free yet simple to implement. All together, the work described in this book illustrates that rethinking the fundamental algorithms and data structures employed in a DBMS for NVM improves performance and availability, reduces operational cost, and simplifies software development.

Download or read book Enabling Non Volatile Memory for Data intensive Applications written by Xiao Liu and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emerging Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technologies are reforming the computer architecture. NVM holds advantages includes a byte-addressable interface, low latency, high capacity, and in-memory computing capability. However, data-intensive applications today demand compound features rather than just better performance. For instance, big data applications would require high availability and reliability. The neural network applications require scalability and power efficiency. Despite all the advantages of NVM, simply attaching the NVM to the memory hierarchy are unable to meet these demands. The decoupled reliability schemes among NVM and other devices fail to provide sufficient reliability. The vulnerability against overheating and hardware underutilization limit the performance and scalability of the in-memory computing NVM.Using the NVM for the data-intensive application requires redesign and customization. In this thesis, we focus on discussing the architecture designs that enable NVM for data-intensive applications. Our study includes two major types of data-intensive applications--big data applications and neural network applications. We first conduct a characteristic study against the persistent memory applications. Persistent memory implements over the NVM-based main memory and guarantees crash consistency. We explore the performance interaction across applications, persistent memory system software, and hardware components. Based on our characterization results, we provide a set of implications and recommendations for optimizing persistent memory designs. Second, we propose Binary Star for the generic data-intensive applications, which coordinates the reliability schemes and consistent cache writeback between 3D-stacked DRAM last-level cache and NVM main memory to maintain the reliability of the memory hierarchy. Binary Star significantly reduces the performance and storage overhead of consistent cache writeback by coordinating it with NVM wear leveling. For neural network applications, our first design explores the thermal effect over one representative NVM--resistive memory (RRAM). We find heat-induced interference decreases the computational accuracy in the RRAM-based neural network accelerator. We propose HR3AM, a heat resilience design, which improves accuracy and optimizes the thermal distribution. Results show that HR3AM improves classification accuracy and decreases both the maximum and average chip temperatures. Lastly, we present Mirage to improve parallelism and flexibility for pipeline-enabled RRAM-based accelerators. Mirage is a hardware/software co-design that addresses the data dependencies and inflexibility issues of existing accelerators. Our evaluation shows that Mirage achieves low inference latency and high throughput compared to state-of-the-art RRAM-based accelerators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SRAM and DRAM have been used to build our memory systems for decades, but their scalability is facing more and more challenges in terms of leakage power and density. Meanwhile, new emerging non-volatile memory technologies (NVMs) are being explored, such as Phase-Change RAM (PCM or PCRAM), Spin-Torque Transfer RAM (STTRAM or MRAM), and Resistive RAM (ReRAM). They have common advantages of high density, low standby power and non-volatility. It could bring benefits by using NVMs to replace SRAM and DRAM in our memory systems. However, NVM technologies still have some disadvantages. First, the NVM write operation is much more expensive in terms of longer latency and higher energy. It causes negative impacts on the system performance and energy efficiency. Second, NVMs usually have limited write endurance, which brings challenges on system reliability. Last but not least, the size of NVM sense amplifier is larger, and how to maintain the area utilization is an issue. All of these NVM characteristics are caused by their basic mechanisms, and they are very difficult to be improved by changing cell designs. Therefore, new architecture techniques are necessary for mitigating these issues and building efficient and reliable systems with NVMs.In this dissertation, NVMs are evaluated as alternatives of traditional memory technologies for different memory levels. We explore NVMs as main memory systems, on-chip caches and GPGPU register files. We analyze their impact on system level and propose several techniques on architecture level to mitigate their disadvantages. We believe these techniques make NVMs more attractive in the future computer systems.

Download or read book Flash Memories written by Paulo Cappelletti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Flash memory is a Non Volatile Memory (NVM) whose "unit cells" are fabricated in CMOS technology and programmed and erased electrically. In 1971, Frohman-Bentchkowsky developed a folating polysilicon gate tran sistor [1, 2], in which hot electrons were injected in the floating gate and removed by either Ultra-Violet (UV) internal photoemission or by Fowler Nordheim tunneling. This is the "unit cell" of EPROM (Electrically Pro grammable Read Only Memory), which, consisting of a single transistor, can be very densely integrated. EPROM memories are electrically programmed and erased by UV exposure for 20-30 mins. In the late 1970s, there have been many efforts to develop an electrically erasable EPROM, which resulted in EEPROMs (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROMs). EEPROMs use hot electron tunneling for program and Fowler-Nordheim tunneling for erase. The EEPROM cell consists of two transistors and a tunnel oxide, thus it is two or three times the size of an EPROM. Successively, the combination of hot carrier programming and tunnel erase was rediscovered to achieve a single transistor EEPROM, called Flash EEPROM. The first cell based on this concept has been presented in 1979 [3]; the first commercial product, a 256K memory chip, has been presented by Toshiba in 1984 [4]. The market did not take off until this technology was proven to be reliable and manufacturable [5].
