The emerging trend of memory disaggregation where CPU and memory are physically separated from each other and are connected via ultra-fast networking, e.g., over Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), allows elastic and independent scaling of compute ...$$$$

Persistent memory (PMem) is increasingly being leveraged to build hash-based indexing structures featuring cheap persistence, high performance, and instant recovery. Especially with the release of Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory Modules, we have ...

In this paper, we describe how we extended a distributed key-value store called Anna into an autoscaling, multi-tier service for the cloud. In its extended form, Anna is designed to overcome the narrow cost–performance limitations typical of ...

Due to recent advances in semiconductor manufacturing, the gap between main memory and disks is constantly increasing. This leads to a significant performance bottleneck for Relational Database Management Systems. Recent advances in nanotechnology have ...

Main memory cache performance continues to play an important role in determining the overall performance of object-oriented, object-relational and XML databases. An effective method of improving main memory cache performance is to prefetch or pre-load ...

In the past decade, advances in the speed of commodity CPUs have far out-paced advances in memory latency. Main-memory access is therefore increasingly a performance bottleneck for many computer applications, including database systems. In this article, ...
