Analytical Engines With Context-Rich Processing: Towards Efficient Next-Generation Analytics

As modern data pipelines continue to collect, produce, and store a variety of data formats, extracting and combining value from traditional and context-rich sources such as strings, text, video, audio, and logs becomes a manual process where such formats a ...

Micro-architectural Analysis of Database Workloads

Utku Sirin

Database workloads have significantly evolved in the past twenty years. Traditional database systems that are mainly used to serve Online Transactional Processing (OLTP) workloads evolved into specialized database systems that are optimized for particular ...

Scalable Multi-Query Execution using Reinforcement Learning

Anastasia Ailamaki, Panagiotis Sioulas

The growing demand for data-intensive decision support and the migration to multi-tenant infrastructures put databases under the stress of high analytical query load. The requirement for high throughput contradicts the traditional design of query-at-a-time ...

Same Queries, Different Data: Can we Predict Query Performance?

Anastasia Ailamaki, Adrian Daniel Popescu, Miguel Sérgio De Oliveira Branco

We consider MapReduce workloads that are produced by analytics applications. In contrast to ad hoc query workloads, analytics applications are comprised of fixed data flows that are run over newly arriving data sets or on different portions of an existing ...

Scalability of write-ahead logging on multicore and multisocket hardware

Anastasia Ailamaki, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis, Radu Ioan Stoica, Ippokratis Pandis

The shift to multi-core and multi-socket hardware brings new challenges to database systems, as the software parallelism determines performance. Even though database systems traditionally accommodate simultaneous requests, a multitude of synchronization ba ...

PLP: Page Latch-free Shared-everything OLTP

Anastasia Ailamaki, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Pinar Tözün, Ippokratis Pandis

Scaling the performance of shared-everything on-line transaction processing to highly-parallel multicore hardware remains a great challenge for database system designers. Developments in OLTP technology remove locking and logging from being scalability bot ...

Aether: A scalable approach to logging

Anastasia Ailamaki, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis, Radu Ioan Stoica, Ippokratis Pandis

The shift to multi-core hardware brings new challenges to database systems, as the software parallelism determines performance. Even though database systems traditionally accommodate simultaneous requests, a multitude of synchronization barriers serialize ...

Improving OLTP Scalability Using Speculative Lock Inheritance

Anastasia Ailamaki, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Ippokratis Pandis

Transaction processing workloads provide ample request level concurrency which highly parallel architectures can exploit. However, the resulting heavy utilization of core database services also causes resource contention within the database engine itself a ...

Transparent scalable database replication

Sameh Mohamed Elnikety

This thesis demonstrates that, despite earlier projections to the contrary, database replication on a cluster of low-cost commodity servers can transparently scale database performance. In a replicated system providing the standard transactional properties ...

Tashkent: Uniting Durability with Transaction Ordering for High-Performance Scalable Database Replication

Sameh Mohamed Elnikety, Fernando Pedone

In stand-alone databases, the functions of ordering the transaction commits and making the effects of transactions durable are performed in one single action, namely the writing of the commit record to disk. For efficiency many of these writes are grouped ...

A Primary-Backup Protocol for In-Memory Database Replication

Rodrigo Malta Schmidt, Fernando Pedone

The paper presents a primary-backup protocol to manage replicated in-memory database systems (IMDBs). The protocol exploits two features of IMDBs: coarse-grain concurrency control and deferred disk writes. Primary crashes are quickly detected by backups an ...

Comparison of Database Replication Techniques Based on Total Order Broadcast

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann

In this paper, we present a performance comparison of database replication techniques based on total order broadcast. While the performance of total order broadcast-based replication techniques has been studied in previous papers, this paper presents many ...
