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.
Current data-intensive systems suffer from scalability as they transfer massive amounts of data to the host DBMS to process it there. Novel near-data processing (NDP) DBMS architectures and smart storage can provably reduce the impact of raw data movement. However, transferring the result-set of an NDP operation may increase the data movement, and thus, the performance overhead. In this paper, we introduce a set of in-situ NDP result-set management techniques, such as spilling, materialization, and reuse. Our evaluation indicates a performance improvement of 1.13 × to 400 ×.
