We introduce IPA-IDX – an approach to handle index modifications modern storage technologies (NVM, Flash) as physical in-place appends, using simplified physiological log records. IPA-IDX provides similar performance and longevity advantages for indexes as basic IPA [5] does for tables. The selective application of IPA-IDX and basic IPA to certain regions and objects, lowers the GC overhead by over 60%, while keeping the total space overhead to 2%. The combined effect of IPA and IPA-IDX increases performance by 28%.
Multi-versioning and MVCC are the foundations of many modern DBMSs. Under mixed workloads and large datasets, the creation of the transactional snapshot can become very expensive, as long-running analytical transactions may request old versions, residing on cold storage, for reasons of transactional consistency. Furthermore, analytical queries operate on cold data, stored on slow persistent storage. Due to the poor data locality, snapshot creation may cause massive data transfers and thus lower performance. Given the current trend towards computational storage and near-data processing, it has become viable to perform such operations in-storage to reduce data transfers and improve scalability. neoDBMS is a DBMS designed for near-data processing and computational storage. In this paper, we demonstrate how neoDBMS performs snapshot computation in-situ. We showcase different interactive scenarios, where neoDBMS outperforms PostgreSQL 12 by up to 5×.
Even though near-data processing (NDP) can provably reduce data transfers and increase performance, current NDP is solely utilized in read-only settings. Slow or tedious to implement synchronization and invalidation mechanisms between host and smart storage make NDP support for data-intensive update operations difficult. In this paper, we introduce a low-latency cache-coherent shared lock table for update NDP settings in disaggregated memory environments. It utilizes the novel CCIX interconnect technology and is integrated in neoDBMS, a near-data processing DBMS for smart storage. Our evaluation indicates end-to-end lock latencies of ∼80-100ns and robust performance under contention.
The performance and scalability of modern data-intensive systems are limited by massive data movement of growing datasets across the whole memory hierarchy to the CPUs. Such traditional processor-centric DBMS architectures are bandwidth- and latency-bound. Processing-in-Memory (PIM) designs seek to overcome these limitations by integrating memory and processing functionality on the same chip. PIM targets near- or in-memory data processing, leveraging the greater in-situ parallelism and bandwidth.
In this paper, we introduce pimDB and provide an initial comparison of processor-centric and PIM-DBMS approaches under different aspects, such as scalability and parallelism, cache-awareness, or PIM-specific compute/bandwidth tradeoffs. The evaluation is performed end-to-end on a real PIM hardware system from UPMEM.
