Existing single-stream logging schemes are unsuitable for in-memory database management systems (DBMSs) as the single log is often a performance bottleneck. To overcome this problem, we present Taurus, an efficient parallel logging scheme…

Phase-change memory (PCM) devices have multiple banks to serve memory requests in parallel. Unfortunately, if two requests go to the same bank, they have to be served one after another, leading to lower system performance. We observe that a…

Database backups have traditionally been used as the primary mechanism to recover from hardware and user errors. High availability solutions maintain redundant copies of data that can be used to recover from most failures except user or…

Byte-addressable persistent memory (PM) brings hash tables the potential of low latency, cheap persistence and instant recovery. The recent advent of Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory Modules (DCPMM) further accelerates this trend. Many new…

Read-optimized columnar databases use differential updates to handle writes by maintaining a separate write-optimized delta partition which is periodically merged with the read-optimized and compressed main partition. This merge process…

Transaction logging is an essential constituent to guarantee the atomicity and durability in online transaction processing (OLTP) systems. It always has a considerable impact on performance, especially in an in-memory database system.…

A database system optimized for in-memory storage can support much higher transaction rates than current systems. However, standard concurrency control methods used today do not scale to the high transaction rates achievable by such…

DGCC protocol has been shown to achieve good performance on multi-core in-memory system. However, distributed transactions complicate the dependency resolution, and therefore, an effective transaction partitioning strategy is essential to…

We introduce and analyze different strategies for the parallel-in-time integration method PFASST to recover from hard faults and subsequent data loss. Since PFASST stores solutions at multiple time steps on different processors, information…

We consider a parallel computational model that consists of $P$ processors, each with a fast local ephemeral memory of limited size, and sharing a large persistent memory. The model allows for each processor to fault with bounded…

Database Management Systems (DBMSs) are crucial for efficient data management and analytics, and are used in several different application domains. Due to the increasing volume of data a DBMS deals with, current processor-centric…

In-memory database query processing frequently involves substantial data transfers between the CPU and memory, leading to inefficiencies due to Von Neumann bottleneck. Processing-in-Memory (PIM) architectures offer a viable solution to…

Fault tolerance overhead of high performance computing (HPC) applications is becoming critical to the efficient utilization of HPC systems at large scale. HPC applications typically tolerate fail-stop failures by checkpointing. Another…

Finding the best way to leverage non-volatile memory (NVM) on modern database systems is still an open problem. The answer is far from trivial since the clear boundary between memory and storage present in most systems seems to be…

Parallel execution of smart contract transactions in large multicore architectures is critical for higher efficiency and improved throughput. The main bottleneck for maximizing the throughput of a node through parallel execution is…

Dynamic resource management is an increasingly important capability of High Performance Computing systems, as it enables jobs to adjust their resource allocation at runtime. This capability can reduce workload makespan, substantially…

A new emerging class of parallel database management systems (DBMS) is designed to take advantage of the partitionable workloads of on-line transaction processing (OLTP) applications. Transactions in these systems are optimized to execute…

The Simplex tableau has been broadly used and investigated in the industry and academia. With the advent of the big data era, ever larger problems are posed to be solved in ever larger machines whose architecture type did not exist in the…

This article summarizes the idea of "refresh-access parallelism," which was published in HPCA 2014, and examines the work's significance and future potential. The overarching objective of our HPCA 2014 paper is to reduce the significant…

The latest trends in high-performance computing systems show an increasing demand on the use of a large scale multicore systems in a efficient way, so that high compute-intensive applications can be executed reasonably well. However, the…
