Download or read book Main Memory Database Systems written by Frans Faerber and published by Foundations and Trends in Databases. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With growing memory sizes and memory prices dropping by a factor of 10 every 5 years, data having a "primary home" in memory is now a reality. Main-memory databases eschew many of the traditional architectural pillars of relational database systems that optimized for disk-resident data. The result of these memory-optimized designs are systems that feature several innovative approaches to fundamental issues (e.g., concurrency control, query processing) that achieve orders of magnitude performance improvements over traditional designs. This monograph provides an overview of recent developments in main-memory database systems. It covers five main issues and architectural choices that need to be made when building a high performance main-memory optimized database: data organization and storage, indexing, concurrency control, durability and recovery techniques, and query processing and compilation. The monograph focuses on four commercial and research systems: H-Store/VoltDB, Hekaton, HyPer, and SAPHANA. These systems are diverse in their design choices and form a representative sample of the state of the art in main-memory database systems. It also covers other commercial and academic systems, along with current and future research trends.

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 Implementation techniques for main memory database systems written by University of California, Berkeley. Electronics Research Laboratory. POSTGRES Project and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the availability of very large, relatively inexpensive main memories, it is becoming possible to keep large databases resident in main memory. This paper considers the changes necessary to permit a relational database system to take advantage of large amounts of main memory. The authors evaluate AVL vs. B+- tree access methods for main memory databases, hash-based query processing strategies vs. sort-merge, and study recovery issues when most or all of the database fits in main memory. As expected, B+- trees are the preferred storage mechanism unless more than 80-90% of the database fits in main memory. A somewhat surprising result is that hash based query processing strategies are advantageous for large memory situations. Keywords: Access; Algorithms. (Author).
Download or read book Main Memory Databases written by Sahir K. Mehta and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The declining cost of main memory coupled with higher performance expectations has inspired researchers and developers to look into systems with massive amounts of memory, especially for systems with databases. When memory is large enough, an entire database can permanently reside in main memory. These database systems are known as memory resident database or Main Memory DataBase (MMDB) systems. When a database is a main memory resident, systems can achieve significant performance improvements over traditional disk-based database systems by eliminating the overhead required to perform Input/Output operations. However, the problem of crash recovery becomes by far the most challenging issue in MMDB systems, since it can occur frequently and cause a drastic crisis by wiping out the entire content of the database. The kind of crisis that can be encountered due to memory failures, the way to prevent them from occuring in the first place, methods of dealing with them upon their occurance, strategies to make the system more reliable to avoid them in the future, and several other issues like these must be well understood. Approaches to deal with crash recoveries must be sound, well designed, and correctly implemented. The objective of this thesis is to study some of the pioneering works of researchers and developers in the area of MMDB recovery and to perform an in-depth analysis of MMDB recovery issues and approaches taken by several major recovery techniques. The analysis examines the reasons for these techniques, design and architecture, and their benefits and limitations over one another. My independent evaluation of the relative benefits and limitations of each technique coupled with marketablitiy analysis is also presented. The approach used in this study is different from that of other studies that have been published so far in this area. In this study, the reader is given a basic introduction to the topic and then gradually taken through the final stages of analysis and comparison of several recovery techniques."--Author's abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the growing interest in Real-Time Database Systems, there is no single book that acts as a reference to academics, professionals, and practitioners who wish to understand the issues involved in the design and development of RTDBS. Real-Time Database Systems: Issues and Applications fulfills this need. This book presents the spectrum of issues that may arise in various real-time database applications, the available solutions and technologies that may be used to address these issues, and the open problems that need to be tackled in the future. With rapid advances in this area, several concepts have been proposed without a widely accepted consensus on their definitions and implications. To address this need, the first chapter is an introduction to the key RTDBS concepts and definitions, which is followed by a survey of the state of the art in RTDBS research and practice. The remainder of the book consists of four sections: models and paradigms, applications and benchmarks, scheduling and concurrency control, and experimental systems. The chapters in each section are contributed by experts in the respective areas. Real-Time Database Systems: Issues and Applications is primarily intended for practicing engineers and researchers working in the growing area of real-time database systems. For practitioners, the book will provide a much needed bridge for technology transfer and continued education. For researchers, this book will provide a comprehensive reference for well-established results. This book can also be used in a senior or graduate level course on real-time systems, real-time database systems, and database systems or closely related courses.
Download or read book Main Memory Management on Relational Database Systems written by Pedro Mejia Alvarez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides basic knowledge about main memory management in relational databases as it is needed to support large-scale applications processed completely in memory. In business operations, real-time predictability and high speed is a must. Hence every opportunity must be exploited to improve performance, including reducing dependency on the hard disk, adding more memory to make more data resident in the memory, and even deploying an in-memory system where all data can be kept in memory. The book provides one chapter for each of the main related topics, i.e. the memory system, memory management, virtual memory, and databases and their memory systems, and it is complemented by a short survey of six commercial systems: TimesTen, MySQL, VoltDB, Hekaton, HyPer/ScyPer, and SAP HANA.

Book excerpt: Abstract: "Memory resident database systems store their data in main, physical memory and provide very high speed access. Conventional database systems are optimized for the particular characteristics of disk storage mechanisms. Memory resident systems, on the other hand, use different optimizations to structure and organize data, as well as to make it reliable. This paper surveys the major memory-residence optimizations and briefly discusses some of the memory resident systems that have been designed or implemented."

Download or read book A Course in In Memory Data Management written by Hasso Plattner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-28 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent achievements in hardware and software development, such as multi-core CPUs and DRAM capacities of multiple terabytes per server, enabled the introduction of a revolutionary technology: in-memory data management. This technology supports the flexible and extremely fast analysis of massive amounts of enterprise data. Professor Hasso Plattner and his research group at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany, have been investigating and teaching the corresponding concepts and their adoption in the software industry for years. This book is based on an online course that was first launched in autumn 2012 with more than 13,000 enrolled students and marked the successful starting point of the openHPI e-learning platform. The course is mainly designed for students of computer science, software engineering, and IT related subjects, but addresses business experts, software developers, technology experts, and IT analysts alike. Plattner and his group focus on exploring the inner mechanics of a column-oriented dictionary-encoded in-memory database. Covered topics include - amongst others - physical data storage and access, basic database operators, compression mechanisms, and parallel join algorithms. Beyond that, implications for future enterprise applications and their development are discussed. Step by step, readers will understand the radical differences and advantages of the new technology over traditional row-oriented, disk-based databases. In this completely revised 2nd edition, we incorporate the feedback of thousands of course participants on openHPI and take into account latest advancements in hard- and software. Improved figures, explanations, and examples further ease the understanding of the concepts presented. We introduce advanced data management techniques such as transparent aggregate caches and provide new showcases that demonstrate the potential of in-memory databases for two diverse industries: retail and life sciences.

Download or read book High performance Main Memory Database Management Systems written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decision makers today want to analyze constantly evolving datasets of unprecedented volume and complexity in real time. This poses a significant challenge for the underlying data management system. In the past, data processing could scale to meet the growing demand with few changes to the individual software components mainly due to a sustained improvement in single-threaded processor performance. Because of fundamental technological limitations, however, single-processor performance has recently been increasing much more slowly than in the past. It is not uncommon today for a single database server to be able to concurrently execute instructions from hundreds of threads and store terabytes of data in main memory. Commercial database management systems, however, have not been designed for such hardware; they treat main memory as a vast software-controlled cache, and commonly rely on multiple concurrent requests to fully utilize a modern system. My thesis is that we can improve data processing efficiency by one order of mangitude if we redesign the data processing kernel to better leverage existing hardware. This dissertation makes three contributions to main memory database management systems. The first contribution is a simple non-partitioned hash join for memory-resident data that has comparable performance with much more sophisticated hash join methods. The second contribution is demonstrating that hash join plans are commonly advantageous over sort-merge join plans in a main-memory setting because they commonly have shorter query response times while reserving less working memory. The third contribution is the design and implementation of two multi-version concurrency control schemes that are optimized for main memory storage, and can achieve throughputs of millions of transactions per second without sacrificing transactional atomicity, isolation or durability. This dissertation points to promising directions for future performance improvements in the database system kernel, and identifies key open problems in the areas of query execution, transaction processing and query optimization.
