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.
